Don't get caught spending more money long-term.

Whether you choose to finance or decide on cash payment, don't get caught spending more money long-term. At the Nicholson Clinic, we offer you a speedy insurance verification service. If you're not sure if you're covered, we'll find out. It's that simple. We do the work so you don’t have to. Call us today. Our counselors are ready to help you determine which payment option works best for you.

Insurance

Most major insurance companies cover bariatric procedures as long as you meet their requirements. Your insurance may consider you a candidate for a weight loss procedure if your BMI is at least 35 (with two underlying health conditions) or your BMI is 40 or greater (with no underlying health conditions). We have insurance experts on staff to help you get approved through the insurance process. Contact us to get started!

Payment Plan

If you do not have insurance, do not meet your insurance requirements, or if you have an exclusion on your policy, we now offer two fantastic financing options through our partners at Care Credit and SurgeryLoans.com. Click below to go directly to their websites where you can review the details and apply today. We can't wait to get started!
