How Much Does Gastric Bypass Surgery Cost?
Well in most cases if you qualify your insurance company will pay for the gastric bypass operation due to health reasons, but there are some instances where they don’t cover the cost and in that case you would be responsible for full payment.
Full payment can be anywhere from $20,000 to $35,000 including your hospital stay and associated fees. If your insurance company is going to pay for it they will most likely require some information from you and your doctor including:
Some explanations and documents to support the fact that you have tried various supervised weight loss programs.
Consultations with qualified gastric bypass surgeons who have qualified you as a potential candidate.
A psychological evaluation attesting to the fact that you are in a stable mental state.
A waiver of legal rights indicating you know the associated risks of this type of gastric bypass surgery.
