Pricing & Payment Options for your Lap-Band Surgery

Pricing of the Procedure

If you know your insurance won't cover the procedure, we offer the best value for it.

The costs below cover all the typical services required to complete your procedure and provide a year of follow-up care, including adjustments, office visits, and support groups. There will not be any additional charges related to the lap-band from our office during that time with receipt of payment for the complete program.

This cost does not include services, testing, facilities, or extra helping physicians costs if a rare complication occurs.

SELF-PAY COST includes Surgeon, Assistant, Anesthesia, Facility, and First Year Care.

Those who are over 400 lbs or who have complicated health conditions that may require an overnight stay or additional support availability will be required to have their procedure in a hospital operating room setting. Dr. Hansen will primarily make this decision.

Insurance Coverage

Our office has dedicated staff to help you with your insurance process.

Costs of care including deductibles and of copays are typically the responsibility of the patient. A surgeon's fees usually cover the cost of the initial procedure. If a complication arises that requires additional treatment or surgery, the patient would be expected to cover any additional costs, including their deductible. It is important for patients to carefully review their insurance policy and understand their financial responsibilities before undergoing any surgical procedure.
Generally, health insurance companies cover the procedure, or they don't. If you want to know this, call and ask them: "Do I have bariatric surgery coverage?". If you have coverage, your insurance company may have requirements that you have to satisfy before they authorize the surgery, like a nutritional or psychological evaluation, documented diet attempts, and a certain period of time being overweight.

Each plan may have unique requirements we can help you fulfill. If you have decided to pursue coverage, then your next step after attending a seminar is to fill out the online registration forms so we can start the process to gain coverage approval for your procedure.
