      My total out of pocket expense for the surgery was $158. I have Tricare (retired military). I paid some co pays for appointments along the way but that is pretty much it. Very happy with Tricare!!!

    Insurance paid, I made my first contact with the clinic in February of 2020, had a zoom appointment in March, then did six months of check ins to satisfy insurance requirements. Insurance submitted in October, approved next day. Surgery date 11/10/2020. My out of pocket ended up being a few hundred dollars. I was well above the BMI cutoff, but I’m such a cheapskate that if I’d been below I would probably have stuffed a bra full of sandbags. ?
