What is Easy Pass?

Easy Pass was designed with you in mind. It quickly takes you through the pre-bariatric surgery process. Time is valuable, and no one likes to waste it. We all suffer the unavoidable delays related to life in NJ; traffic, weather issues, kids’ schedules, family events. The list is never ending.

  • Office Consult

    Your office consultation visit will be an opportunity for your bariatric surgeon to physically examine you and to discuss your individual medical issues and choices. The surgeon may or may not, recommend additional testing items specific to your individual needs.

You will meet with the Insurance Coordinator / Scheduler immediately after finishing with the bariatric surgeon. The coordinator will be your “Care Concierge” moving forward. They will discuss the timing involved in the approval process as it pertains to your specific insurance company as well as any other specific items which are unique to your individual insurance coverage. They will also provide availability information regarding the different facilities, surgical dates and any remaining necessary tasks or steps.
