Cost of Being Overweight and Obese
The direct, indirect, and personal costs of obesity puts additional strain on your wallet far more than the price of weight loss surgery. The unexpected cost of obesity can impact you in various ways:
Bariatric Insurance Coverage
Surgical therapies are the definitive answer to obesity and its underlying medical conditions. However, the U.S. insurance plans from Medicare, Medical, private, or employer-provided, may not cover bariatric surgery. To receive approval for surgical treatment, you must have a BMI above 40 and undergo a diet and psychological evaluation.
If you do not have insurance coverage and cannot afford to undergo weight loss surgery, then don’t worry. You can get affordable self-pay weight loss surgery in Mexico. Mexico Bariatric Center offers the best patient care, optimal outcomes, and complete aftercare support.
