Are you planning on using your insurance for weight loss surgery? No problem!
Some patients aren’t even aware that weight loss surgery is often a covered benefit, providing that they meet their policy requirements. Insurance should cover because weight loss surgery not only benefits the patient, but also often times the insurance carrier. Why? Because after surgery a patient might see many of their weight-related medical issues resolve completely. Now the insurance company doesn’t have to pay for diabetes meds and CPAP machines!
