If you are paying for your bariatric surgery, or are covered under an insurance plan with maximum coverage limits (e.g., $10,000 lifetime benefit), you should consider going to a BLISCare approved surgeon. Only a BLIS Surgeon can provide you with a safety net of protection from the financial effects of covered surgical complications. With BLISCare in place, you can focus on getting healthy rather than worrying about how to pay for extra medical expenses.
Only surgeons meeting selective BLIS criteria and receiving the BLIS Surgeon designation are allowed to financially protect their patients with BLISCare. If a BLIS Surgeon is performing your weight loss surgery, you can feel comfortable knowing that your surgeon demonstrated outcomes that are within expected norms for each weight loss surgical procedure they perform, and that they are continually evaluated against their BLIS peers.
Contact BLIS for more information or go the BLIS Surgeon Locator to find the nearest BLIS surgeon.
