Is Bariatric Surgery
Covered by My Insurance
The short answer is maybe. Insurance coverage for bariatric surgery varies between states, insurance companies and insurance plans so the best way to know for sure is to call your insurance company and see what they cover. You can also call our office and we will be more than happy to help you with an insurance pre-authorization.
