Insurance Coverage for weight loss Surgery in Dallas, Texas

In order for our office to determine if your policy covers bariatric surgery we will need to get some information from you. First please fill out the contact us information. At that point we can schedule you for a free informational seminar presented by Dr. Stewart.  You will also be offered an appointment for a one on one consultation with Dr. Stewart. As a part of this consultation, we will go over your insurance benefits and the specific criteria that you have to meet to qualify for bariatric surgery.  Our staff has a vast knowledge of most insurance companies' criteria that need to be met before your insurance company will grant approval. 

For patients who do not have insurance that will cover bariatric surgery, we offer very competitive pricing. Our surgery packages start as low as $12,500.00. We work with a financing company to help our patients with any out of pocket expense.

Most insurance companies require the following information:

A letter from the patient stating all past weight loss attempts (walking around the block, Weight Watchers, Phen-fen, the cabbage soup diet, etc.)

1. A letter of medical necessity from your primary doctor.
2. 5 Years of medical records ( to show a history of obesity)
3. Psychological evaluation
4. Documented medically supervised weight loss programs are often required.

If your insurance policy requires a medically supervised weight loss program, we can assist you in meeting these criteria.
