Do you need private health insurance for bariatric surgery?
We recommend that bariatric patients have private health insurance before going down the path of weight-loss surgery. Uninsured patients are also able to access bariatric surgery. But it’s important to let us know when you call whether you have private insurance for bariatric surgery or not. If you aren’t sure if your insurer covers you or to what extent, it’s best to call them first to find out what rebates you may be eligible for.
While private health insurance for bariatric surgery is preferable, our surgeons are aware that uninsured patients would also like the opportunity to have bariatric surgery. Fees for our procedures are given up-font and all hospital costs can be obtained prior to surgery.
