Insurance or Self Pay?🤔Which is right for you? When weighing your options, here are things to consider:
👉Your insurance may NOT cover the surgery. Call us, and we can help you figure this out!
👉Insurance companies often make you go through months and months of other required treatments prior to being approved for surgery. These out-of-pocket costs add up, and many people give up during the process.
👉We offer financing options through Cherry. There are even 0% financing options available! Learn more here: https://alabariatrics.com/patient-resources/prices-insurance/

Whether you want to explore using your insurance or self-pay, we can help you decide the path that is right for you!
