Program Fees

How much were the program fees that you had to pay for the RNY and Band.

the surgeon i am using doesnt charge any upfront fees  thank god lol  but i will say this i have looked into several for my self before deciding on who im gonna go with for my surgery and there are several that  have a fee you gotta pay  up front over and above the insurance  just be sure to check around before deciding on who does the surgery as well

Dr. Neil McDevitt in Beaufort, SC does not charge a program fee.

I know that some might not have the money for the program fees but I'm glad that I did....I had great information going into surgery and afterwards  the support groups before and after and all the nutritution classes and psych stuff.  I would not have done it any other way....I know some of the program fees are steep, but some are worth it.  My surgeon charged a 2000.00 fee but I'm sure I got that much or more worth of services. 

I am just wondering what kind of before and after care do these surgeons have that don't charge a program fee?  If it's the same then I should have checked into that.....I just thought all of them charge and offered the programs.

wow that is very steep thats  crazy   my surgeon doesnt charge a fee and we get  before and after care from a threw z      wow i can not believe they  charged you that fee  thats  nonsence im sorry to here that u had to pay that much   or even a fee for that matter

Dr. Ross in Spartanburg doesn't charge any upfront fees or anything and I have to say, he's an excellent doctor. I just had my surgery Monday (I'm still at the hospital) and Dr. Ross has gone out of his way to make sure we're comfortable and everything is going according to plan.

Dr Strickland in Columbia at SC OBesity Center doesn't charge a fee to get started either. I am having my sleeve done on March 6th and everyone has been great!

My program fee was $500.00 total. I paid $250.00 on the first office visit and the other $250.00 at the appointment before the surgery. It was well worth it because it covered my fills for 90 days and any follow up care for 90 days they did not bill my insurance.
