Medicare covers some bariatric surgical procedures, like gastric bypass surgery and laparoscopic banding surgery, when you meet certain conditions related to morbid obesity. Note. Your doctor or other health care provider may recommend you get services more often than Medicare covers.
The cost for bariatric surgery varies based on the type of surgery, patient and location of the surgery. The surgery could cost between $17,000 and $30,000. Medicaid does cover weight loss surgery in most cases as long as the patient fits the criteria for coverage.
