SURGEON TESTIMONIALS:
As a bariatric surgeon, my commitment is to the health and safety of my patients. Providing patients with a surgical tool to help them improve their health and wellbeing provides me with the satisfaction of knowing that I’m making a difference in the life of someone else. By being a partner with BLIS, I am providing my patients with yet another service to show my commitment to their health and well-being.
For self-pay patients, the peace of mind that comes with offering the BLIS complication protection program is immeasurable for not only them, but their families and myself as well. With any surgery, there are risks but providing a solution for this risk up front allows not only me, but my patient, the opportunity to focus on what is most important – their health.
Partnering with BLIS has been easy. They work directly with my team to help educate my patients and are available at any time for questions from patients or my staff. This partnership has proven to be a win-win for everyone involved.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS:
During my weight loss surgery journey I found out that my health insurance would not approve and pay for my procedure and I quickly realized that I would have to be a self-pay patient. My biggest concern was the ‘unknown’ - ‘What if I had a complication following surgery? How would I pay for something like that knowing that my health insurance would not step in to do so?”
I knew I was in the hands of a qualified surgeon, and knew the chances were slim, but still didn’t feel it was a chance I was willing to take. I did some research and was referred over to BLIS. I learned that BLIS covers qualified surgeons for known surgical complications and allows them to make a commitment to their self pay patients that should a complication occur following surgery, I would not be billed.
Once I knew this program was available I worked with a Billie Keuper, Patient Liaison, and my surgeon to get my surgeon to participate in their program. I was deeply concerned and anxious about moving forward with my bariatric surgery without BLIS Insurance. I understood deeply the value that was offered by using a BLIS Surgeon and how it could benefit me. I told Billie and my surgeon that I would be HAPPY to pay for a more expensive surgery package that included the protection.
The peace of mind I received from knowing my surgeon was backed by BLIS was priceless to me!!! BLIS Protection enabled me to move forward with weight loss surgery confidently and without worry or concern!
