Weight loss surgery qualifies for Medicaid, Medicare, and most major insurance plans. Before scheduling your initial appointment, the office staff will check with your insurance carrier about the benefits coverage and the associated the weight loss surgery cost. If your insurance carrier does cover your surgical weight loss, they may require preliminary steps.
To learn about your health plan's weight loss surgery coverage and to ensure you obtain the proper documentation to receive approval for payment, please call our office. Sometimes the insurance carrier denies coverage for the patient without a reasonable cause. In these cases, our trained staff members will work with you to submit an appeal for the approval of coverage
