Insurance & Financing
Surgery Financing
Bariatric surgery is a major financial consideration, but don't let these fiscal concerns keep you from living the life you want. If insurance is unable to cover your bariatric surgery, financing options are available that allow you to pay for the surgery over time. Dr. Barker has a working relationship with many healthcare finance companies, including CareCredit® and MedChoice®. They can provide you with information on their programs and payment plans. Feel free to visit their websites to learn more about financing your procedure.
