Finance Support

As we are not a registered finance provider, we are unable to offer any financial plans however we can suggest credit companies, or other finance options such as personal loans, getting an extension on your mortgage, etc. These options will be included in the information pack, or we are happy to discuss other options in your initial consult.

Some people have been successful in accessing their KiwiSaver through the ‘financial hardship’ pathway, however there are no guarantees that this will be approved. Unfortunately, the ‘medical reasons’ pathway has now been removed as an option to fund bariatric surgery, but we encourage patients to consider applying under financial hardship if they fulfil the criteria. For more information regarding this, we suggest you contact your KiwiSaver fund provider, and get the forms which outline what you will need in terms of the supporting documentation from both your GP and healthcare provider. 

To discuss the option of publicly funded surgery, you will need to contact your GP, and then organise a referral through your GP to the public hospital. We are unable to refer you for public funding, this is only through your GP.
