At St. Rita’s weight management program, we realize your health is very important to you and helping you reach your goals is our priority. We find that more and more insurance companies are offering weight management benefits as our weight problem grows and the cost of health care continues to rise. The health benefits from weight loss lead to health savings.
Many insurance companies offer metabolic/bariatric surgery benefit coverage to their participants. Every insurance requires consecutive monthly visits as part of your pre-surgery preparation prior to authorizing your bariatric surgery procedure. It is very important to remember each policy is different and therefore we urge you to investigate your particular benefits and requirements. If you are uninsured or have a policy that excludes bariatric surgery, we do offer a self-pay option. There are several different avenues to finance your surgical procedure.
Because insurance does not cover every aspect of weight management, there are out of pocket expenses. We strive to make this fee as competitive as possible. There is program fee for the surgical pathway covering 6 months and for the medically supervised weight management program, which covers 3 months. Medically supervised weight managemet can be renewed with an additional program fee every three months if desire to remain in the program. Please contact us for more information.
If your insurance provider does not offer bariatric surgery benefits, the Weight Management Center has a self pay option. The patient obtains their own financing and all self pay fees are due paid in full 2 weeks before your bariatric surgery procedure. Contact us for more information.
Because every patient has different needs, we offer several payment options:
