BLIS Advantage: More Patients-Less Risk

BLIS has proven that patients will not only seek out providers offering BLISCare complication protection but will also travel and pay more to have their weight loss surgery performed by a BLIS Surgeon. BLIS Surgeons and their hospital partners can now actively grow patient volume in a safe, financially risk protected environment. BLIS is a win-win scenario for all parties to bariatric surgery.

BLIS provides the following advantages:

1.  Covered Complication Bills Paid by BLIS

When a BLIS Surgeon’s patient suffers a known complication during, or within a pre-agreed time frame following bariatric surgery, BLIS pays all providers according to pre-negotiated terms on a direct basis. 

2.  Risk Reduction

Often cash strapped patients feel they have no recourse but to seek legal redress when facilities attempt to collect on complication related care.  With BLISCare in place, the patient receives the needed extra care without receiving the extra bill, thus less motivated to pursue legal action.

3.  Early intervention Improves Care

When the BLIS Surgeon suspects a patient may be suffering from a complication event, they can authorize diagnostic procedures or medical care to treat the suspected event thus avoiding delays and ensuring patients receive the best care possible and at the appropriate time.

4.  Patients Value Price Certainty

All patients desire the benefits of bariatric surgery without the worry of complication related extra expenses. BLIS programs enable price certainty by taking the guess work out of complication related care.

5.  Strong Financial Backing

BLIS is backed by State National Insurance Company, an A.M. Best “A” rated insurance provider.
