Should I utilize my insurance or pay cash for the surgery?

Insurance is typically the best way to go when you are considering weight loss surgery. Today, the gastric sleeve is covered by most major insurance companies. But this doesn’t necessarily mean your policy includes coverage.

Insurance policies vary in surgical coverage

While most insurance policies offer some sort of weight loss surgery coverage, your individual policy details what’s included and what’s not. Some policies specifically exclude weight loss surgery. Most insurance companies charge more to include weight loss surgery coverage. For this reason, you will want to check your policy to see if you have coverage. The best way to do that is to call your carrier directly (the number is usually on the back of your insurance card).
