Is life weighing you down? If your weight is affecting your overall health and well-being, you are not alone. Invest in yourself and start living a healthier life.

Nearly 70% of Americans are overweight, and nearly 42% of Americans are considered obese.* Obesity has significant effects on our health. The longer an individual is obese, the more at risk they are of developing weight-related conditions such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, even certain types of cancer. It also leads to a diminished quality of life and can even lead to an earlier death/decreased life span.

Studies show individuals with obesity have 42% higher healthcare costs than people of normal weight.** For most patients, obesity-related health problems disappear or greatly improve so patients can go off their medications not to mention less risk of weight-related hospital visits and more medical expenses down the road.

You can afford weight loss surgery.

Whether using insurance or going the self-pay route, both are affordable and life-changing! At the Nicholson Clinic, we're committed to helping every patient who needs weight loss surgery – no exceptions. Insurance coverage, finances or payment methods should not be a roadblock. Below is an overview of options.

INSURANCE

The Nicholson Clinic accepts most major insurance. In many cases, bariatric surgery is considered a medical necessity and is at least partially covered by most insurance companies, provided the patient meets their requirements. Our team of insurance specialists are here to help you easily manage the process, working directly with your insurance provider to acquire approval. Contact us to see how we can maximize your coverage and minimize your out of pocket expense.

SELF-PAY

We offer one of the lowest prices in town and offer financing with low monthly payments. We are one of the few practices that includes everything in one low price, including your follow-up visits for life! Our pricing is significantly lower than the national average. Our goal is to make weight loss surgery affordable and available to anyone who needs it. We accept traditional payments (credit cards, cash and check) or have payment plans and financing options.

PAYMENT PLANS & FINANCING

We're pleased to offer financing through Care Credit that makes weight loss surgery affordable with low monthly payments to fit your budget. Pricing varies by procedure type, surgery location and lender. For example, payments can be as low as $254/month for gastric sleeve surgery using Care Credit.

Jennifer lost 115 lbs. with weight loss sugery

“My husband and I both had sleeve surgery. His insurance covered his surgery and we paid out of pocket for mine. There are pros/cons to both payment options, such as smaller out of pocket for him using insurance but no pre-requisites prior to surgery for me made planning my surgery date easier and I liked having all expenses paid prior to surgery.

Would we do it over again? YES, YES, YES….having the surgery has changed our lives and we have gained so much confidence, self-esteem, and love for each other. With both of us having the surgery we have become closer as a couple, and it is truly the reason we have both been so successful! Regardless of the cost, paying out of pocket is very affordable in my opinion. What you gain post-surgery is so much more than before surgery, and the everyday cost for medicine and the unhappiness with yourself, which can then affect your day-to-day life. My only regret is not having the surgery sooner.”
