Most insurance plans cover bariatric surgery if the patient's weight and health meet standard criteria. Contact your provider to learn more by calling the number on your card and asking if obesity surgery (bariatric surgery) is covered. Provide the procedure code (CPT):
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass 43644
- Sleeve Gastrectomy 43775
- Duodenal Switch 43845
- Gastric Banding 43770
Ask: “Is there an exclusion in my group policy?” The answer should be “YES” or “NO,” not "Maybe!"
