About prices and fees
You have decided on a gastric bypass and are very eager to get started? But how does it work financially?
If you have been screened and meet the criteria then gastric bypass surgery is covered by your health insurance company’s basic package. You then do not have to pay for the operation yourself. There are a few things you need to know, though:
As ahealth care provider, WeightWorksdoes not yet have a contract with all health insurers. This means that we cannot always send the bill for your treatment directly to your health insurance company. That’s why WeightWorks will send you the invoice after your surgery after 6 weeks. We ask that you submit this bill to your health insurance company immediately upon receipt.
You will receive an email from us that an invoice is ready so you can get started right away. Sometimes this mail may end up in your spam box, please monitor this carefully after your surgery.
If you have a payment plan or debts or are under guardianship for your financial situation, you are required to tell us before your treatment.
How does it work with reimbursement?
With a number of insurers, however, we can bill directly. These are: VGZ, Univé, IZA, ZEKUR, DSW, Stad Holland and Zorg en Zekerheid. The reimbursement you receive from your health insurance company on your own account may be lower than WeightWorks’ invoice amount.
The part that is not covered by your health insurance company will be taken care of by WeightWorks and therefore will not be charged to you. This only applies if you pay us within 30 days of the invoice date.
What do you need to do to do that?
- Transfer the amount deposited into your account to WeightWorks within 30 days.
- Send an email to declaraties@weightworks.nl with the health insurance benefit statement + the invoice number which can be found on WeightWorks’ invoice.
