Making a decision about weight loss treatment is a big step. Understanding the financial side shouldn’t feel overwhelming.
Before you begin a medical or surgical weight loss program, our insurance specialists review your benefits and explain what may be covered — so you can move forward with confidence.
Obesity treatment coverage varies by insurance plan. Some plans cover medical weight management. Others cover bariatric surgery when certain medical criteria are met.
Before scheduling treatment, we will:
Verify your insurance coverage
Identify any pre-authorization requirements
Review required documentation

You will know what to expect before starting care.
Your financial path depends on the type of treatment you choose.
Medical weight management may include:
Physician visits
Nutrition counseling
Lab work
Meal replacement products
Virtual group visits
Insurance may cover portions of care based on diagnosis and medical necessity. Self-pay options and program packages may also be available.
Insurance typically covers bariatric surgery when medical criteria are met, such as specific BMI requirements and obesity-related conditions.
Plans may require:
Supervised weight management visits
