Welcome to Dr. Mutafyan’s QuickStart Program, where we cut through the frustration and delays that come with traditional insurance approvals! Tired of jumping through endless hoops, undergoing required diets and exercise plans, only to wait 6-12 months for an approval—or worse, get denied altogether? You’re not alone. Many patients get stuck in this grueling process and end up losing hope.

Our QuickStart Program is designed for those who don’t need additional health clearances and are eager to get started now, not months from now. Instead of battling the lengthy insurance authorizations that drag out your journey, our program gets you from consultation to surgery in just 2-4 weeks. If insurance headaches have been holding you back, check out our FINANCING PAGE to explore hassle-free options and start your journey without the unnecessary wait.

Your new beginning shouldn’t be postponed—let’s make it happen!

Qualification Criteria:

To be eligible for the QuickStart Program, patients typically need to meet the following criteria:

PRE-APPROVED: If your insurance provider has pre-approved your surgery, you may qualify. Coordination with our office is essential to ensure all insurance-related documentation is correctly managed.
CASH PAY ONLY: If you are planning to pay out-of-pocket or arrange financing, we can help expedite the process to get you on the fast track to surgery.
COMPLETED PRE-OPERATIVE WORKUP: Patients who have already completed the necessary preoperative workup and are deemed suitable by our office can proceed quickly.
ASBS CRITERIA COMPLIANCE: You must meet the criteria for surgery as set forth by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS).
INFORMED & READY: The ideal candidate has thoroughly researched their options, attempted non-surgical weight loss methods, and is now ready to commit to the lifestyle changes necessary for successful surgical outcomes.
