Many health plans publish their medical policies on the website so that providers and patients may review what criteria needs to be met for various proposed treatments. Listed below are a number of websites where you can access the medical policy for Bariatric Surgery and the LAP-BAND® System.
Note that the Weight Loss Surgery Program at Mary Washington Hospital does not accept all of the following insurances. These websites are made available as a courtesy and should not be construed as a guarantee of payment as each patient's contract will vary as to benefit design and coverage. Also please be aware of the fact that medical policy is a dynamic process and may change so you may wish to review the policies of interest on a regular basis.
