Surgery Financing
We know that bariatric surgery is not a small financial consideration, but there's no reason for fiscal concerns to keep you from living the life you want. If you are having trouble solidifying your bariatric procedure with insurance, there are other financing options available that allow you to pay for the procedure over time. Dr. Barker has a working relationship with many healthcare finance companies, including CareCredit® and MedChoice®, which can provide you with information on their programs and payment plans.
Feel free to visit their websites to learn more about financing your procedure.
