Is the bariatric surgery covered by health insurance?

most major insurance companies do cover bariatric surgery the criteria for coverage are based upon recommendations from the nih they center around your weight for height or your body mass index also known as your bmi so if you have a bmi over 40 you are a candidate for surgery or if your bmi is between 35 and 40 and you have an obesity related medical problem like hypertension sleep apnea high cholesterol heart disease then you would qualify for bariatric surgery

as always though we recommend you talk to your insurance company about your specific policy
