Insurance

Hurley Comprehensive Weight Loss Center recommends contacting your insurance company to verify if Bariatric Surgery is a covered benefit on your policy. Our staff is glad to help with insurance questions you might have during this process.

Detailed documentation is required to obtain insurance authorization and approval for bariatric surgery. Things such as medical records from your primary care provider, pre-surgery diet documentation, lab testing, and psychological clearance are required. While the duration will vary from person to person, this pre-surgery process can take several months to complete. We have insurance specialists on our team to help navigate you through this process.

Obtaining Approval

Once all test results, evaluations, and diet documentation is complete and medical records obtained, we will submit your case to your insurance company to request authorization for surgery. Your insurance company may take up to 30 days to notify us of their determination. Once we receive their decision, we will notify you to discuss next steps.
