Lap Band Insures Weight Loss

The majority of major insurers will cover lap band surgery in part or in full as long as the candidate meets their requirements.

An individual’s insurance provider may consider them a candidate for the procedure if their Body Mass Index (BMI) is at least 35 (with two underlying health conditions) or a BMI of 40 or higher (with no underlying health conditions present).

The best way to determine if one’s insurance will cover the surgery is to refer to the insurance policy package they obtained following the payment of their first premium or provided through a plan under the guise of their place of employment.
