I need to have Surgery and need to meet a 565 deductible how can I meet this deductible?
The deductible is the amount of money that you will need to pay out of your pocket before the insurance company will pay for the surgery. Once you have proof of paying the deductible, then the provider will bill the insurance company, and they in turn will pay the provider according to how the policy states it will pay. Check your policy to see if it's an "80/20" plan or something different. An 80/20 plan means that after you pay the deductible, the insurance company will pay 80% of the bill and you will pay 20% of the bill.

Lap Band surgery costs around $10,000. You can go to Mexico and get it done cheaper, but with a risk factor that 88% of patients have complications, It would not be advisable for such a minor weight difference. It would not be worth the risk. At that wieght it would not be likely that an insurance compay would considerit a necessary procedure.
