Understand Your Options: Schedule A Visit With A Wellness Advisor

Weight loss surgery is a major step. Schedule a visit with one of our Wellness Advisors to understand your options for weight loss. The Wellness Advisor will listen to your needs and the goals you want to achieve. There are many options to choose from. If you choose to learn more about bariatric surgery they will register you for one of our recommended seminars.

Attend A Bariatric Seminar

At every Bariatric Seminar, a medical professional will educate you on various types of weight loss surgeries. You will have a chance to meet patients who have already undergone bariatric surgery and hear how our partner, Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeons in conjunction with Kingley Health have helped them succeed. You will also have the opportunity to ask your questions to a panel of experienced bariatric surgeons and nutritionists with extensive track records of proven success.

You can schedule your necessary surgical, nutritional, and psychological evaluations right at the seminar. If you have more questions feel free to call us back at 732.283.1900 and talk to your Wellness Advisor.

Find Out If Your Insurance Covers Bariatric Surgery

Call your insurance company and ensure you have coverage for bariatric surgery. Ask if you have EXCLUSIONS to weight loss surgery, bariatric surgery, obesity surgery or a specific weight loss procedure. Exclusions mean that your insurance carrier does not cover the procedure. If your policy does have exclusions to bariatric surgery, please contact us to discuss non-surgical alternative options. If you do not have exclusions, our team will put in contact with the correct professionals to advise you of what is required to obtain pre authorization for your procedure.

Get Your Nutritional and Psychological Evaluations Completed

All patients must have a Psychological and Nutritional evaluation completed prior to their surgery. We have done thousands of evaluations and know what the insurance companies are looking for to approve surgery. You will also need blood testing and and EGD within the previous six months of the proposed surgery date. Some patients may require additional testing based upon their medical history and individual risk factors. These tests may include, but are not limited to; EKG, Primary Care Clearance, Cardiovascular Clearance, Sleep Study / Pulmonary Clearance, Colonoscopy, Hematological Clearance and others as deemed appropriate. We have partnerships with these physicians. Your Wellness Advisor can help you coordinate.
