Health insurance can cover bariatric surgery and Northwest Weight & Wellness Center accepts most insurance plans, but it can be challenging for patients to figure out the insurance process on their own. While many insurance companies offer bariatric coverage, the policyholder of your insurance plan (typically your employer) may have opted out of this coverage. If your plan does cover bariatric surgery they may have very specific eligibility criteria and pre-surgical requirements.

Don’t let this information discourage you! The experts at Northwest Weight & Wellness Center are here to help. Our team will help you navigate your insurance benefits and they will explain everything you need to know about your plan’s coverage. If your initial insurance claim is denied we can also help you appeal the decision

Some employers have a special benefit for low-cost or no-cost surgery. Find out from your employer if you have this benefit.

If we exhaust all options for insurance covered bariatric surgery, we have a competitive self-pay rate for weight loss surgery at our surgery center!
