Preapproval requires that you meet certain requirements including screening tests and medical necessity. Whether your policy will provide coverage depends on your specific details. Our responsibility is to help you obtain authorization, and at Advanced Surgical &amp; Bariatrics of NJ we have dedicated staff to help. When you don&#8217;t have coverage, our experienced staff will work with you to secure a medical loan to finance essential medical care, with reasonable interest rates or provide other payment options.<\/p>\n<p>Even when you receive approval, there will be some services that may not be covered, such as psychological screening. Out of pocket costs depend on your insurance benefits, and these costs generally will need to be paid before your surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Out of pocket costs after surgery may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vitamins and supplements<\/li>\n<li>Behavior modification therapy<\/li>\n<li>Exercise and nutritional counseling.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Obesity is more expensive than bariatric surgery<\/h2>\n<p>The costs of being obese are well documented with regard to medical expenses, lower wages and absenteeism. The annual costs of being obese have been reported as approximately $4,789 more annually than for a woman of average weight. And, obese men pay an annual $2,646.00 premium.*<\/p>\n<p>Studies report that obese adults spend 42% more on direct health care costs (medical costs) than adults at a healthy weight. Over your lifetime, the higher costs of obesity are similar to those for smoking, or four times more over your life than bariatric surgery.<\/p>\n<p>At Advanced Surgical &amp; Bariatrics of New Jersey, we think the facts show that bariatric surgery pays for itself financially, and importantly it will vastly improve your quality of life. Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Obesity comes with lots of expensive health problems like Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, arthritis, stroke, heart disease, gallbladder disease, postmenopausal breast cancer, and colon cancer.<\/li>\n<li>A BMI above 30 increases you risk of premature death by 50-100% compared to people at a normal weight.<\/li>\n<li>And sadly, obese people marry less often, and unmarried obese people are poorer.<\/li>\n<li>Obese people pay more for Gasoline, funeral costs are higher, travel is costlier, and larger clothes are more expensive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The more you understand the association between obesity costs and the cost of weight loss surgery, the more confident you&#8217;ll be that surgery is the right decision for you.<\/p>\n<p>You can actually reduce your healthcare costs long term by over 30%!<\/p>\n  \n        <div class=\"fullWidthIn\">\n            <div class=\"inner-five-star\">\n                                <div class=\"single-five-star\">\n                    <span class=\"star\"><span>5.0<\/span> \u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605<\/span>\n                                        <span class=\"title\">The medical team are great<\/span>\n                                        <p>Courteous, professional front desk staff.
