Empowering Employees to Access Bariatric Surgery — Often at No Cost
For individuals living with obesity and related health conditions, bariatric surgery can be a life-changing milestone. Yet many are held back by concerns about complex insurance approvals and high out-of-pocket expenses. That’s where innovative surgery solution programs come in—making surgical care more accessible and affordable than ever before.
Our practice is proud to partner with three top-tier solutions to support our patients throughout their bariatric journey:
- Lantern (formerly SurgeryPlus)
- Transcarent
- Carrum Health
Each of these programs simplifies the healthcare process, reduces (or even eliminates) patient costs, and helps individuals achieve their weight-loss goals with confidence.
How These Programs Benefit You
Reduced Long-Term Healthcare Costs:
Studies show that when employees have easy access to necessary procedures, overall health risks decline—potentially lowering future insurance claims and improving workplace productivity.
Attract and Retain Top Talent:
Offering a “no-cost-to-patient” or “low-cost-to-patient” surgery benefit is a standout perk.
Streamlined Administration:
Lantern, Transcarent, and Carrum Health each provide end-to-end program management, helping HR teams and benefits administrators maintain efficient workflows without added complexity.

Final Thoughts
If you didn’t get the outcome you hoped for with your first bariatric surgery—or if complications arose—a revisional procedure might help turn things around. Whether it’s resolving medical issues, tackling weight regain, or improving overall results, revisional surgeries can offer a fresh start.
However, they also come with higher risks and longer healing times. Working closely with our healthcare team and being ready to make long-term lifestyle adjustments. With the right preparation, these procedures will put you back on track toward better health and well-being. Ready to discuss revisional surgery options?
