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 of a particular treatment, the need for it in a covered population and lingering disagreements over necessity help explain some coverage differences. Bariatric surgery, which can improve the health of obese patients by limiting food intake, can cost $7,000 to $30,000.
