Northwest Endosurgical provides a number of options to help bariatric surgery patients afford the weight-loss surgery they need to combat obesity. Patients can finance their treatment with Dr. St. Laurent through CareCredit® and other trusted third-party lenders. Depending on your credit score, you can get access to low-interest and interest-free credit lines to make the treatment you need affordable.

If you are considering weight loss surgery, it is important to know that insurance may not cover every aspect of your treatment. In order to qualify for insurance coverage, bariatric surgery patients may need to present documents and undergo tests, and pre-authorizations are required.

The friendly office staff at Northwest Endosurgical in Houston, TX, knows how to work with insurance companies to help patients get the coverage they're entitled to. We file all the necessary paperwork with your provider, work with insurance reps in real-time, and take care of all the follow-up so that your bariatric surgery has all applicable benefits in order to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.

The best way to get an accurate answer to this question is to book a consultation with Dr. St. Laurent. During your visit, he will conduct a careful analysis of your health history, the current state of your health, and other factors to determine which procedure is the best fit for you. From there, our helpful staff can begin exploring how your insurance will factor, and if needed, we can begin explaining your financing options.

You may not be a candidate for bariatric surgery; some patients are better suited to our weight loss programs based on nutrition counseling and meds. When we pair these programs with GLP-1 drugs (such as Ozempic), they start as low as $285/month with financing.
