I am a self pay patient in new jersey, My insurance company does not cover weight me.

I totally have a $13000 cash deposit I saved for this surgery.

I found a new jersey surgeon has a $12000 sleeve package, but he does not offer any complications insurance for me to buy.

I found a florida surgery he has a $13000 packet including blis complication cost coverage. But i need to pay hotel and flights for me and my companion. But if i really have leaking, infection, etc. How i could immediately fly to Florida for the revision?

May I know how are your self pay guys prepare for the complications cost?

I am in Orlando and self pay. My original surgeon didn't offer complication insurance. Therefore, I opted to go to Dr Illan in Tijuana, MX where I paid less and was able to buy medical tourism insurance. It covers me for 6 months post surgery and I can go to local doctors. Luckily, my doctor has very few complications and I am doing great!!!

Thanks.

Your info very help.

I can not get complications insurance in US, but can buy it in mexico.

Locally means you can use this insurance in Orlando?

I'm a self pay but luckily my doctor has an insurance policy for complications and it is like $60!? Good deal but my sleeve is like $17000 for everything. Good luck!

Thanks.

I already asked 2 US doctors that i could afford.

They don't have complications insurance to buy.

Thanks.

Yes. It covered complications there and here in the US. However it is a reimbursement type insurance, not like your major medical.

But when i asked the doctor, he didn't mention this reimburse type insurance for complications. All doctors have this reimburse complications insurance or only some?

No, this is specific to medical tourism. This was one of the main reasons I decided to travel to Mexico for surgery.

The company name is Global Protection Solutions. There are other plans, but since my local Dr. didn't offer Blis, I had to rethink things. I had other reasons for going, but this was one of the major factors in my decision.

Thanks.
