Frequently asked questions
When is my balance due?
Your full balance is due at least 14 days before your scheduled surgery date, by any of the three balance payment methods on this page.
Will my bank charge me a fee for the wire transfer?
Most US banks charge a wire fee of $15 to $45 for an outgoing domestic wire. This fee goes to your bank, not to us. Call your bank ahead of time to confirm their exact fee.
How will I know you received my payment?
You will receive an email confirmation within 24 hours of your payment clearing. Credit card payments settle immediately. ACH takes 3 to 5 business days. Wires typically arrive the same business day.
Can I pay my balance in parts?
Partial payments are accepted by ACH only, because ACH has a per-transaction send limit. For wire transfer and credit card, the balance is due in full at the time of payment unless Better Me Bariatrics approves otherwise in advance. In all cases, your full balance must be received at least 14 days before your scheduled surgery date.
What if I need to reschedule after paying?
Rescheduling is possible up to 7 days before your surgery date with no penalty. Within 7 days, please call us immediately to discuss your options. Your deposit is transferable within 12 months per our refund policy.
What if my wire gets delayed?
Call us at (240) 263-0309 as soon as you know. We can usually accommodate a 1 to 2 day delay without impact to your surgery date, but the earlier we know, the smoother we can keep things.
Still have questions about your options?
