Program Fees?
Revision on 10/29/12
Newton Wellesley has a $550 fee which you can make as many payments as necessary on. They will schedule a date as long as you ar emaking the payments. I think it is a bit unreasonable to have to pay up front when you don't even know if your insurance will cover it.
I investigated fees also and the norm is about $500 in Boston but I did call Boston Medical Center at Dr Hess's office a and they quoted $160 for the psych eval only because the provider does not accept insurance. I did ask them is there any other fees and they stated NO. I did call 2 seperate times.
Hi Trish,
I had lap-band done at Brigham and Womens in 8/2004 when I weighed 290lbs. I also had to pay the $500 non-refundable program fee. Tufts health plan covered all the rest of the costs. Today I stepped on the scale and I weighed 187lbs. My waist size has gone from 53 to 36.
It was the best $500 I've ever spent.
