Costs under control at all times

You can pay with all common debit and credit cards, in cash or by bank transfer. Or you can pay in instalments through our partner medipay.

To confirm your treatment appointment, you first pay a deposit; this reserves the appointment firmly for you. Before the treatment, you pay the remaining amount using one of the payment options mentioned. If you have chosen financing via medipay and your application is approved, we handle the payment processing directly with medipay.

Yes. Every medical treatment involves risks. At the Weight Doctors you can insure yourself against follow-up costs that arise if further treatment becomes necessary after your treatment. The insurance premiums are transparent and low in relation to the treatment costs. We discuss in the consultation which follow-up cost insurance may be suitable for you.

With a BMI ≥ 40 or a BMI ≥ 35 with a related condition, there is a chance of cost coverage where the medical indication is in line with guidelines. As a rule, a 6-month multimodal programme (MMK) is a prerequisite; the MMK itself is not a German health insurance service. The decision is made case by case. More at Stomach reduction with statutory health insurance.

That is up to you. Where the indication is in line with guidelines, there is a chance of cost coverage by German health insurance; the 6-month MMK normally comes first. As a self-payer you start without this wait and choose freely from all methods, including those the insurer does not pay for, such as Weight Doctors® hydroGMA or GLP-⁠1 pharmacotherapy. The costs can be financed via medipay and may be tax-deductible as an extraordinary burden.

Through our partner medipay you can spread the costs over monthly instalments – for example from €50 a month for the gastric balloon or from €199 a month for Weight Doctors SLEEVE® (subject to a credit check). The application is completely digital and discreet; you will find the requirements and a worked example under Paying in instalments.

No. Consultation, procedure and aftercare are included in the price, as are 1 year of the app with Weight Doctors® Mira, digital scales, two 3D Bodyscans and, with GLP-⁠1 pharmacotherapy, a DNA analysis where applicable. Additional costs only arise if a gastric balloon is removed early at your own request (€750).

With us, specialists in gastroenterology and visceral surgery treat you – at 23 locations in 6 countries to the same quality standards, with scientifically studied procedures and quality products from well-known manufacturers. This includes complete care with app, 3D Bodyscans and aftercare; more on this above under “How our prices come about” and in the 13 reasons for Weight Doctors®.

The prerequisite for any treatment is a medical indication and the approval of our specialists, who examine each case individually and take responsibility for it. At the Weight Doctors® Nationalklinik in Wertheim, statutory health insurance patients are also treated to a private-practice standard.
