Cost and Insurance Coverage

Bariatric surgery’s cost depends on several factors, including the surgery clinic’s location and the chosen procedure. The cost of weight loss surgery usually ranges from $15,000 to $50,000, with an average cost of $20,000. However, the procedure essentially pays for itself in the long run because comorbid conditions associated with obesity lead to medical expenses exceeding $10,000 per year. 

The average medical cost of patients who have undergone weight loss surgery is around $2,000 per year.

Insurance providers are usually hesitant about paying for bariatric surgery because of the large upfront cost. However, you can increase your chance of getting insurance coverage if you can produce 6 to 12 months of documented diet history and consultations with nutritionists and psychiatrists. Basically, specific insurance plans may cover the procedure if it’s deemed medically necessary.
