Weight Loss Surgery Center of Louisiana

Dear Patient,

It is unfortunate, but a reality nonetheless, that several health insurance companies refuse to acknowledge morbid obesity operations as payable services. When an insurance carrier excludes weight reduction operations from its covered services, the decision (or change in that decision) is a legal matter, regardless of the necessity argued by the physician.

Our office has worked with the hospital, and ancillary providers, to offer our patients an opportunity to obtain these procedures at a reasonable cost, if you're insurance carrier excludes coverage.

Our office staff will be happy to provide you with information regarding total package cost, our professional component of the total package price, and any services which may not be covered in the total package price. Potential financing options can also be investigated, and we will be happy to assist you if you so desire.
