Do I Need a Passport?

Our patients often ask if a passport is required. The answer is yes. Customs and border agencies going into Mexico and returning to the U.S. both require a passport or passport card for travel across the border. A passport card can be easier and faster to get, as it’s valid for land crossing only. A passport book can take a bit longer, but it’s good for land, air, and sea crossing. Crossing is very easy with the proper documents, so if you don’t already have a passport or passport card, start that process now. You can go here if you need to get your passport quickly, and you can also try getting an appointment at your local passport office here.

If you don’t have a passport and are unable to obtain one in time for surgery, please contact an OCC Patient Coordinator for assistance.

Passport in luggage — do I need a passport for surgery?

Forms and requirements to apply for your US Passport or Passport card can be found here.

Passport lead times can be 6–8 weeks or more. For urgent travel, you may be able to get an appointment at your local passport office for a passport card if you need to travel within two weeks and you may be able to get your passport card on the same day. However, appointments are very limited, so call ahead to see if you can get an appointment. In certain instances, you can pay an extra fee for an expedited passport.

Costs to get your U.S. passport or passport card can be found here (prices are different for renewal and for minors).

Our Financing Process

We provide our patients with several options to finance their weight loss and other surgeries through third parties. These financing companies offer you an affordable way to have your procedure done immediately with monthly payments that fit your budget. Please feel free to contact us regarding the options that are summarized below.

You may call us toll-free from the U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada.

From outside the U.S., please call 1-415-738-8100.

Please Note

OCC quotes cash prices. In addition to any fee that the finance company charges you directly, check with the lender to see if there is a funding fee charged to OCC, if so, the cash price to OCC would not apply, and you would be charged a higher fee, typically around 5%.

If you choose financing that pays you directly, and no extra costs are incurred by OCC, we may be able to honor the cash pricing.

All patients are required to pay a $500 deposit to OCC to hold their surgery date within 24 hours of scheduling.
