Insurance
It’s important to understand your insurance coverage and the criteria necessary for you to be covered by your provider. This step is necessary to complete before surgery can be scheduled.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: The patient is responsible to understand and meet the criteria for insurance approval; your PSSC Insurance Coordinator will help guide you through the Insurance approval process. PSSC does not take responsibility for criteria not met by the patient.
Patients will receive any needed assistance with understanding insurance eligibility. As every insurance policy varies in criteria, your policy criteria may require multiple components. The patient is responsible to help procure needed documentation. Our Insurance Coordinator will guide you through the process all the way to your anticipated approval.
Financing
Financing your surgery can help when your insurance doesn’t cover costs associated with weight loss surgery or you have a significant co-payment. By financing, you have the opportunity to get your procedure done whenever you are ready.
Some patients have financed their medical costs through bank or credit union loans or equity lines of credit. Others have used income tax refunds or borrowed from their retirement funds. In addition, there are special companies whose primary objective is to assist by providing affordable financing for medical procedures.

*These financing options are only accepted when surgery is performed at Puget Sound Surgical Center. If your surgery is performed in a Hospital Setting, these financing options cannot be utilized. The following two financing options are for surgical and facility fees only at Puget Sound Surgical Center.
Puget Sound Bariatrics does not endorse or recommend any particular financing arrangement. This is a personal decision that must be made by each individual.
