Arizona Affordable Self-Pay Bariatric Surgery

Meet Lisa, who’d struggled with weight for years. After research, she considered a sleeve gastrectomy, but her insurance plan had hurdles.

It covered bariatric surgery but required a supervised diet and multiple consultations over the course of six months. Even if she met these criteria, her plan would only cover 70% of the procedure after her $7,000 deductible.

Frustrated but determined, Lisa explored cash payment options. She found Dr. Brown, who offered a cash price similar to her out-of-pocket costs and was highly recommended.

The cash option appealed to Lisa for several reasons. She could schedule the surgery on her timeline, avoid waiting months for approval, and keep her medical decisions private.

While the majority of people in Arizona do have Bariatric benefits, unfortunately, some residents of Arizona need weight loss surgery but do not have access to it.

• Your insurance plan does not cover the procedures
• You lack insurance coverage entirely.
• You wish to reduce the insurance waiting period from 4-6 months to 6 weeks
• You wish to have complete control over your care

Self pay allows patients to decrease the time to surgery and choose both the surgeon and the facility instead of having their insurance company dictate this to them.

For those who qualify, Dr. Brown offers one of the most cost-competitive self-pay gastric sleeve options in Arizona.

A large portion of your procedure can even be financed.
