Health Insurance Coverage
The first step is to contact your health plan provider to see if weight loss surgery treatments are covered under your plan. If bariatric procedures are covered, ask for details on deductibles and co-pays for the hospital, weight loss surgeon, anesthesia, as well as diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests.

Currently, the Nevada Surgical Weight Loss Center is the exclusive provider to all PacifiCare patients. We are also contracted to provide weight loss surgery treatments for: Tri-Care, United Healthcare, Cigna, Beechstreet Network and First Health patients to name a few.

Outpatient Laparoscopic Band Package Pricing
A new option available to Nevada Surgical Weight Loss Center patients is Outpatient Laparoscopic Surgery. We've teamed up with bariatric surgeons who are willing to provide package pricing for this surgery. For more detailed information on this option, please contact our financial counselor at 702-657-5649.

Third Party Financing
A recent weight loss surgery patient commented to Dr. Barry Fisher, Bariatric Surgeon, that "For the price of my surgery I could have bought a car; only that I'm glad I had the surgery because I'll benefit from that investment the rest of my life, much longer than I would an automobile."

For those with the same mind-set, you'll probably find the option of third party weight loss surgery financing of interest. A third party financing company, much like those who finance automobiles and home improvement needs, has established a medical financing program specifically for procedures like weight loss surgery that are difficult to get insurance companies to cover.

APF offers a flexible weight loss surgery financing alternative to increasing credit card balances or tying up cash.
