Morbid obesity is considered a medical condition, not a cosmetic condition. Therefore, all requests for surgery approval are based on a medical diagnosis made by your surgeon. Most surgeries are covered by insurance if there is a legitimate medical reason to perform the surgery with reasonable expectations that the patient's health will improve with weight loss.

Insurance providers do not have the same coverage for each company they insure, even if they share the same name. Therefore, it is necessary for each person seeking insurance approval to obtain the insurance information pertinent to his or her own insurance policy.

We will help you. We can contact your insurance company to verify your coverage, then provide that information to you. With a small amount of information from you, we can contact your insurance company and obtain the specifics on your policy. Prior approval for surgery will be obtained before the procedure is performed to protect the patient from unnecessary expenses. Learn more about insurance options.
