Houston Bariatric Surgeons Offer Patients Additional Weight Loss Insurance Options
Drs. Sherman Yu and Terry Scarborough Provide Patients With Affordable Bariatric Surgery Options to Lessen Financial Stress and Achieve Their Weight Loss Goals
(firmenpresse) - HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 03/13/13 -- Dr. Sherman Yu and Dr. Terry Scarborough operate Texas Laparoscopic Consultants with the guiding principle of helping their patients live longer, happier, healthier lives. This mission not only includes using the latest techniques and technology the field has to offer, but also making sure their patients are able to comfortably pay for their procedures. Drs. Yu and Scarborough are proud to be recognized as BLIS surgeons, a distinction that allows Texas Laparoscopic Consultants to provide an additional insurance option for their patients.
BLIS is a third-party company that strives to improve access to surgery for those patients whose primary insurance does not cover -- or only partially covers -- the cost of their procedure. For patients with limited weight loss insurance coverage, the chance of surgical complications and their accompanying financial costs can be a major source of stress.
While these surgical complications are statistically rare, if they do occur, they can wreak havoc on the patients' finances. In response to this situation, BLIS has set up the BLISCare Complication Protection Program to "help protect patients and provide financial peace of mind."
Drs. Yu and Scarborough are both BLIS-approved surgeons. BLIS offers its coverage program only to the patients of their pre-approved surgeons to ensure they are teaming up with the best surgeons available. The company evaluates medical practitioners and then compiles a list of qualified surgeons on their website available to prospective patients.
In addition, BLIS offers different tiers of coverage. Patients can choose protection ranging from 90 days to 30 months, depending on their unique circumstances. :
Infection
Perforation
Stenosis/Stricture
Obstruction
Band Slip
Band Erosion
Neuropathy
Suture Line Complications
Drs. Yu and Scarborough discuss BLISCare options with all prospective patients interested in the coverage during the consultation process. They work hand in hand with each patient by helping them determine the most effective insurance package to meet their individual needs.
