Why Consider Financing?
Due to the rising cost of health-related services, many people are unsure whether or not they can afford to finance their weight loss surgery. For many, carrying extra weight can also lead to extra financial costs. Studies have shown that obesity can increase health costs by approximately 36%. It can also increase medication costs by 105% as compared to those at a normal weight. Because of the correlation between healthcare and weight, it’s important to consider the following before making your decision.
- Out-of-pocket healthcare expenses.
- Prescription and over-the-counter medication costs.
- Doctors/specialists, office visits, lab work, physical therapists, etc.
- Employment inactivity (missed work).
- Nonsurgical weight loss programs (WeightWatchers®, Jenny Craig®, etc.).
- Increased grocery and dining costs.
Considering all of the above reasons, financing your weight loss services may lead to an overall reduction of weight-related expenses. If you have any questions, please contact our office. Our team at Surgical Associates of South Florida can answer any questions you may have.
