What does it cost?
It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in a program, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. It does offer financing and payment plans, and it describes insurance advocacy services. In its own words: "The San Antonio Bariatric Surgery clinic provides San Antonio patients with weight loss surgery options, pre- and post-operative counseling and support, nutritional counseling, a nutritional resource store, insurance advocacy services and affordable financing options."
Consultations are booked by phone at (866) 922-3060. Ask for the full cost in writing before you choose a date.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which of the two prescribers you will see, and who performs any surgery. Ask whether a program fee includes the medication, the lab work and follow-up visits, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. If you are considering medical weight loss, ask which medication would be prescribed, since it does not name one.
Ask for the full cost of surgery in writing, including the surgeon, the facility and follow-up care. Ask whether it accepts your insurance and what its advocacy service actually does for you. Ask for the financing terms in writing too.
Ask whether any visits are by video, what the office hours are, and how a financing plan or program is cancelled. Ask what you would still owe if you stopped partway through.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are weighing a surgical option, including revision of an earlier weight loss surgery, and want a practice whose main work is bariatric surgery. It is worth calling first if you are interested only in medical weight loss, since the medication questions above are the ones you will need answered before you book.
