I'm going to go with myself right now

Could somebody please give me the name of the surgeons that work this program?

Nope. Perfectly legal and not at all uncommon. Search these boards and you will find many who have done this when WLS was specifically excluded by their insurance. It is a "self pay" option that some doctors make available as an adjunct to hernia repair. Nothing illegal about it at all. The insurance is not billed for the WLS. The surgeon and hospital bill the patient directly at a vastly reduced rate. Some doctors in the U.S. actually advertise this as an option. Whether a person can take advantage depends on whether their insurance will cover the hernia repair, whether the surgeon is considered in network, etc. any links or key words

That's the way I see it. If you're going to the store to buy some milk might as well pick up some eggs while you're there. Now if I can just find out where to get some milk with my eggs.

Okay this seems like a no-brainer, why not bill insurance for the hernia repair and charge the patient the difference in the cash price for the sleeve or other bariatric procedure. There is a place in Texas called Kim bariatric that will do this, but I am out of network. I have called several bariatric centers and they had no idea what to even think about what I was asking. Does anyone have any insight on this topic?

Please, you're coming back from Tijuana, most people are going to have Montezuma's revenge. Have a gas, blow it out both pant legs.
