When preparing for bariatric surgery, it is important to understand the requirements and benefits of your individual insurance plan. Please check your plan specifically for Obesity Benefits. Do not ask if they cover a certain procedure, just whether they cover weight loss surgery. It is your responsibility to call the number on the back of your insurance card or speak to human resources.

This will be covered in more detail at the seminars.

Please be advised that approval from any insurance company is contingent upon the following and is subject to change:

All insurance companies require a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher. A BMI of 35+ may be allowed depending on the number and severity of the patient's related co-morbidities.
