Your health insurance paves the way for your weight-loss journey. Bariatric surgery is an elective procedure, so it is important you understand what is and is not covered by your insurance plan. Our insurance coordinator can help explain your pre-approval requirements and submit you for coverage. Most insurance plans require you to participate in a weight-loss trial under a doctor’s supervision. They may also request documents that show that your weight has been a long-term health issue.
Your insurance company may ask for the following:
- Current weight, height and BMI
- Verification from a doctor that you are 100 pounds or more over your ideal body weight
- Evaluation and bariatric surgery recommendation and follow-up care, including nutritional and psychological support
- A detailed medical history with co-morbidities (i.e., one or more chronic conditions in addition to obesity)
- Medical records including your evaluation, previous treatments, and types of lab work
- 3 to 6 months of a documented diet and exercise routine (must include dates and results)
- A psychiatric evaluation
If you have questions about the insurance process, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.
