Is Weight Loss Surgery Covered By Insurance?
(Go Back...)
Patients considering weight loss
surgery should completely understand their insurance’s company’s policy
concerning these types of surgery. If you call your insurance company to ask
questions, be sure to document all forms of correspondence. In addition, before
seeing a weight loss surgeon, it is always a good idea to get a referral from
your primary care doctor and make sure you have their support. Insurance
companies are more likely to approve a surgery when they know another doctor
feels the procedure is necessary.
It is also recommended that a potential weight loss surgery patient have
documentation and detailed records of everything related to their weight related
issues. This includes weight loss programs, diet centers and fitness club
memberships.
