The best way to find out if your particular plan has benefits for weight loss surgery is to call the customer service number on your insurance card. If you like, you may use this handy form when you call; just contact our office with your insurance information at 1-866-722-6363. Once we have determined that your insurance company does cover this type of procedure, we have a process in place for working with you to obtain the necessary pre-approval for surgery. The first step is to compose a letter of medical necessity which we will do for you following your initial consultation with the surgeon.

Pacific Surgical Weight Loss Center, PLLC does not accept DSHS coupons or CHPW for Lap-Band surgery. We also are not contracted with Medicare or Molina Healthcare.
