Pivot Weight Loss Center Expands No-Cost Bariatric Surgery Access for Thousands Nationwide

PHOENIX - Oct. 28, 2025 - PRLog -- Pivot Weight Loss Center, Arizona's top-ranked weight loss surgery center, is transforming employee healthcare access through partnerships with more than 380 national employers via Lantern (formerly SurgeryPlus) and Transcarent. These collaborations enable employees from major companies, including American Airlines, Home Depot, State Farm, and UPS, to receive bariatric surgery at no out-of-pocket cost.

For years, the expense of weight loss surgery has been the primary barrier preventing individuals from pursuing treatment for obesity. Through employer-sponsored benefit programs, Pivot Weight Loss Center now offers covered employees and their eligible family members access to bariatric surgery procedures without the financial burden that traditionally accompanies such care.

"Our goal is to make effective, permanent weight loss available to everyone," said Paul Barros, CEO and Co-Founder of Pivot Weight Loss Center. "Health should not depend on a patient's savings account. Thanks to these partnerships, thousands of employees now have access to care that was once financially out of reach."

The initiative addresses both immediate and long-term health outcomes. Pivot's patients report improved energy, mobility, and confidence. Many experience remission of Type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related conditions. By connecting with employer networks, Pivot aims to improve health outcomes while potentially reducing long-term healthcare costs for both employees and employers.

Pivot Weight Loss Center operates eight clinic locations throughout Arizona and specializes in minimally invasive bariatric surgery (https://www.pivotweightloss.com/procedures) and tailored weight loss solutions (https://www.pivotweightloss.com/bariatric-surgery-arizona/) with comprehensive patient support. The center holds the #1 ranking statewide for patient outcomes and satisfaction.
