BLIS - Improving Access to Surgery

Complication Protection

Overview

Patients considering weight-loss surgery have two main worries: how to pay for surgery, and how to pay for the extra care if a complication occurs. BLIS helps patients overcome these hurdles. BLISPay patient financing programs help patients pay for surgery and BLISCare pays the bills for covered complication care and treatment so patients don't have to.

Patients financial worries are addressed, and you and your hospital don’t have to worry about the extra hassles of collecting for covered complication-related bills because BLIS pays you directly. The peace of mind from knowing they are protected attracts patients to the BLIS Surgeon.

Why BLIS?

Giving patients solid reasons to choose a particular surgeon is more important today than ever before. Only BLIS can provide you, the surgeon, with the opportunity to offer patients a financial safety net, protecting both you and the patient from the expenses associated with covered complications. In the rare event a complication happens, patients can focus on getting better and you can focus on what you do best – caring for your patient.

With this protection and a new patient financing pilot in place, BLIS is helping to make any surgeon's practice more attractive to prospective patients by helping to eliminate two of their main concerns, financing and complication protection. Surgeons can now actively seek out and market to cash pay patients because the risk versus reward pendulum is in your favor. Put the power of BLIS, and it's highly rated U.S. licensed insurance company backing it, behind you today. BLIS will support you every step of the way to help build your cash pay business and in turn make your practice more profitable.
