Weight Loss Surgery Financial and Insurance Information

Insurance Coverage

We accept many types of health insurance. If you will be using private insurance, please contact your insurance company to:

  • ensure that they cover bariatric surgery,
  • that Brigham and Women's Hospital or Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital is within network,
  • and ask about the out-of-pocket costs you should expect.

If you will be using health insurance from your employer, ask about the above-mentioned items. You will also need to contact your Human Resources office to ask for a list of exclusions, or services that your employer does not cover. Some employers do not cover bariatric surgery even if coverage is offered by the health insurance company.
