Sherry, I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. Neweigh coordinates everything for the surgery, the surgeon, surgery, pre-op counseling, post-op visits etc and they bill the insurance for this just like if you went to the doctor's office and they billed your insurance for their services. They are also VERY good at getting approvals and at fighting appeals (I KNOW because they helped me win an appeal for my revision). Overall, it's a good well rounded practice and I was very impressed with them. I hope this helped. If you have any other questions, please feel free to e-mail me a [email protected]. Good luck!

NeWeigh is paid by the dr, I think. I only had a $10 copay for my surgery. They never collect any money that I have seen. They are great at getting insurance to pay. I just had to answer their questions and wait. I had my answer back in 2 weeks. It was painless!
