Reputable Financing Options VSG Mexico



Recommended Posts

I am starting the process for VSG and hoping to get some financing advice. From Montana, which doesn't require bari services to be covered by insurance...so I'll be going the self-pay route and planning on Mexico. I'm looking for any advice on reputable financing for medical expenses: I did an initial google search, but all the "sponsored" ads for financing are sketchy at best. Not sure what to look for regard medical financing, and getting a CCD is a last resort because of the interest rates.

TIA! Really hoping my VSG is in the plans for summer 2016!

All the Drs accept different financing in Mexico it seems. I would research your Drs and your budget and then they will assist you with which financing options they accept. Mexicali bariatric is who my surgery is with and they accept 2 or 3 financing companies but none are care credit which most US Drs accept.

I am using Dr.Carlos Altamirano. I agree with previous post.Research doctor first along with location then allow them to give you their financing info. Dr.Altamirano will be doing my surgery in December. I made my last payment a few weeks ago.

Go with a reputable Doctor.I have heard good things about Dr. Altamarino.Reputable.I have heard of someone who is a member of this site being allegedly raped at a facility in Mexico.No one accompanied her and it is a harrowing ordeal.So do your research and choose carefully.

Thanks, Please don't assume that good financing is my only priority, it's not. I've done a lot of research regarding surgeons and am still researching. I have a top 3 and my next step on that end is setting up individual meetings with their offices, but I wanted to check on the $$-issue before I do that so I have my information straight. Wasn't sure if I should go in with financing set up or if I should use the doctors financing options. I haven't really seen any issues with people using the financing of their particular doctor/center, but it's one of the many things I am researching.

Will they take a Visa or master card? I am self-pay in US and that is what I am doing.

My surgeon charges a 3% fee to use a credit card. I would assume most Mexico Drs are the same.

Mine did too. However I could take a cash advance through my bank the card is at without a fee or higher interest rate. So I took the cash advance and put it in my checking account. Then I wrote a check for my surgery.
