SurgeryPlus


SurgeryPlus is a supplemental benefit provided by large corporations such as Home Depot and American Airlines, as well as municipalities such as the City of Fort Worth, Texas.

It provides access to all-inclusive weight loss surgery by an exclusive network of surgeons, including Dr. Joe Cribbins, with little or no out-of-pocket costs.

Many people who have access to this benefit don't even know they have it. Our Plano, TX, practice can help determine if you have access to SurgeryPlus.

The Advantages of SurgeryPlus

If your employer provides SurgeryPlus alongside your HMO or PPO, you have access to:

Bariatric surgery with little or no out-of-pocket expenses.

Depending on the specifics of your SurgeryPlus plan, you can undergo surgery by Dr. Cribbins in Plano, Texas, after meeting an affordable deductible—or even paying nothing at all out of pocket. Considering that Texas does not require insurers to cover surgical treatment of this kind, this benefit can help patients start a new chapter of health and prosperity in their lives for a much lower cost than they might otherwise have to pay.

A fully guided experience.

When patients decide to undergo bariatric surgery by taking advantage of SurgeryPlus, they are assigned a care advocate who will take care of coordinating the entire experience, including travel and each appointment with your surgeon. Some SurgeryPlus plans provide travel benefits that amount to an all-inclusive experience covering travel for both you and a companion.
