Before you begin, we'd like to know if hospital administrators are discriminating against YOUR obesity surgery program?

Chances are you might only remember one or two of the numbers below. If this is the case, then go ahead and fill them in, leaving the rest blank. No need to guess.

You can return at any time to fill in more of the boxes. Thank you for your help!

Please be alert to the fact that the AMOUNT BILLED is, in many cases, NOT the same as the AMOUNT REIMBURSED BY THE INSURER. Hospitals and surgeons invoice for a certain amount, knowing in advance that they will be paid a lesser amount.

If you have any questions and/or if you can obtain the invoicing paperwork from your hospital or surgeon, please email [email protected].
