  1. Calling all self payers! I've got questions.

    zAGGIE replied to alegna242's topic in Insurance & Financing
    I am going to be a self payer too. I have bcbs. However, our plan is customized by our employer so lap band is not covered. I have first consultation tomorrow. I was told physician charged 5,000. That had to be paid up front. Then the hospital would set up payment plans for their portion. However, still do not know the $$$$ of the hospital portion. Question: Is there a difference in qualification in an insurance lap band and a self pay lap band? Bmi is 38-40. No co-morbidities yet.

  2. Dr. Bali lap band
