Questions: Will My Insurance Cover Bariatric Surgery?Weight loss surgery restores your health and saves your life so most insurance carriers will help cover its costs. Coverage depends on your individual plan and benefits. Patients often have difficulty with their medical insurance company, even when the surgery is a covered benefit. Some companies will tell their policyholders that bariatric surgery is not covered, even though it is covered on a selective basis. Since it has been recognized that obesity is a medical disease, physician-directed weight treatment programs are tax deductible. Therefore, out-of-pocket expense are minimal.
Meet the surgeon, office staff, previous surgical weight loss patients, and get the opportunity to know if this is an option for you. To enroll, call 1-888-303-4504 or click here.
