Private insurers vary in their coverage of bariatric surgery—even within the same insurance company, coverage can be different between policies. Gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy are covered in many plans, and certain insurers now cover bariatric surgery at a lower BMI (BMI >30) for patients who also have type 2 diabetes.
It is important to review your own policy to determine if your benefits include the procedures offered by Middlesex Health.
Financial counseling and pre-authorization from your insurance company must occur before a surgery can be performed.
