Billing & Cost of Surgery
The billing procedures at Caribbean Bariatric Institute may vary based on the type of surgery you receive and your insurance provider.
Billing Procedure
Caribbean Bariatric Institute strives to make bariatric surgery as accessible as possible by offering multiple payment options including health insurance, cash, and CareCredit.
Health Insurance
We accept most major health insurance providers, helping patients ensure they can receive coverage for their procedures, provided they meet the necessary criteria. If you’re considering surgery, it’s essential to check with your insurance company to confirm what is covered, including consultations, surgery, and follow-up care.
Cash Pay & Self Pay
For patients who prefer to pay out of pocket, Caribbean Bariatric Institute accepts cash payments. Additionally, we can work with CareCredit, a healthcare financing option that allows patients to manage the cost of surgery over time with flexible payment plans. CareCredit provides an easy and affordable way to break down the cost of bariatric surgery into manageable monthly payments.
Cost of Bariatric Surgery
The cost of bariatric surgery varies based on the type of procedure performed and individual patient needs. On average, the cost for weight loss surgery can range between $8,000 and $15,000. These costs typically cover hospital fees, surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, pre- and post-operative care, and follow-up appointments. However, some expenses, such as medications or post-surgery nutrition plans, may be additional.
Investing in bariatric surgery can lead to significant long-term health improvements, reducing costs related to obesity-related conditions. Discussing your options with your healthcare provider can help you understand what’s included in the pricing and find a solution that fits your financial situation.
