Butler Memorial Hospital performs three types of bariatric surgeries. The
following information applies to insurance coverage, costs, and financing
for these procedures. If you have any further questions, please contact
our office at
BHS Bariatrics.
Insurance Coverage - Due to the health concerns that are caused or amplified by being severely
overweight, many health insurance plans provide benefits for this type
of procedure. Once you are approved as a viable candidate for bariatric
surgery, a member of the Butler Surgical Associates team will help determine
if your insurance plan provides the necessary coverage.
Financing - In the event that your health insurance policy does not afford coverage
for weight loss surgical procedures, you will be responsible to secure
financing. Financing arrangements are the patient’s responsibility.
BHS Surgical Associates cannot secure financing on behalf of any patient
nor any member of this practice can secure financing on behalf of any patient.
