Can a patient request that the orbera balloon procedure be submitted to their insurance in order to meet their insurance deductible for the year since we know it's not covered. Since Obesity is categorized as a medical condition I'm wondering if this is a possibility especially if the insurance does cover bariatric services. Thank you.

Orbera is not covered by medical insurance. It is considered a self pay procedure. Payment plans can make it easier to pay for this procedure and most practices that offer Orbera can help you with this.
The Orbera cost will vary by practices, but the range would be from
$6,500 to $8000
You may find a lower cost but make sure there are no additional or hidden cost on the lower end, since some practices will charge for follow ups visits. The only additional cost you...
Unfortunately, it would be inappropriate to do so. Please find a provider and practice with the appropriate credentials and safety record to do your procedure.
