Obesity and overweight conditions can seriously hamper the health and overall quality of life of an individual. With advanced bariatric surgery and other surgical techniques, it is possible to achieve the desired amount of weight loss. One of the key concerns of a patient usually is how to pay for the costs of weight loss surgery

Dr. Wiljon Beltre is a leading bariatric surgeon providing state of the art weight loss surgical procedures.

Dr. Beltre receives patients from Orlando, Tampa, Maitland, Central Florida, and surrounding communities.

 

Understanding the Cost Aspects

To begin with, Dr. Beltre and his team will try to ensure that a new patient seeking bariatric surgery should have a positive commitment towards achieving weight loss. While the team will guide the patient through the surgical process, one step at a time, they will also walk them through the insurance and financing process with the same level of dedication.

The patient will be informed about the cost-effectiveness of the surgery in terms of the future savings they can expect when they become free of obesity-related diseases. Whether the patient has an excellent insurance cover or none at all, Dr. Beltre’s office will help the patient understand the estimated costs, the paperwork requirements and formalities regarding insurance approvals, and various low-cost financing mechanisms.

 

Gaining Insurance Approval

As an experienced bariatric surgeon, Dr. Beltre fully understands the intricacies involved in gaining insurance approval for a weight loss procedure. The trained and helpful administrative staff at his office will work closely with the patient to navigate through the paperwork required for the insurance approval process.

Insurers are increasingly willing to recognize the importance of weight loss surgery, and how it can prove to be significantly cost-effective for their own business in the long run. Therefore, patients now have a much better chance to receive full or partial coverage for weight loss surgery. Dr. Beltre provides these procedures to patients in Orlando, Tampa, Maitland, Central Florida, and nearby areas.

 

Financing Process

For the patients who do not have the necessary insurance coverage, Dr. Beltre’s practice has tie-ups with leading healthcare finance companies to assist patients with the financing process. Dr. Beltre’s office will offer full assistance to ensure that the patient is able to receive low-cost financing in order to pay for the procedure in convenient and affordable monthly installments.

 

Prosper Healthcare Lending

This is one of the premier and trusted names for financing in the bariatric industry. Patients can expect benefits such as immediate decisions for loans below $35,000, smaller monthly payments extending for up to 60 months, no requirement of collateral, no penalty for prepayments, and complete confidentiality.

 

CareCredit

Dr. Beltre’s practice is an authorized provider of CareCredit and Springstone. These options will enable the patient to borrow funds at very low interest rates and flexible terms. The interest rate may even be zero percent in some cases.
