Health Insurance
KC Bariatric is one of the only weight loss surgery centers in Kansas City that is in-network and designated as a Center of Excellence facility with all major carriers. Bariatric surgery is often considered a medical necessity; therefore, many insurance companies do fully or partially cover bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery requires pre-authorization from your insurance company. Contact your insurance company to ask if bariatric surgery is a covered benefit. Your insurance benefits depend on your coverage, your deductible, and your maximum out-of-pocket costs. It is also necessary to ask if there are any exclusions to weight loss surgery in your plan.

Some of our Contracts:
Exclusive Contracts
KC Bariatric not only accepts almost all major health insurances, but we also hold exclusive contracts with most major insurance companies. This allows us to provide care due to our superior results, lowest complication rates, and our distinction as a Comprehensive Bariatric Center through our program affiliation with the Bariatric Center of Kansas City. KC Bariatric accepts most common insurance plans: including United Healthcare, Aetna, Humana Choice Care, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and AARP, as well as Tricare Standard and Tricare For Life and Medicare. KC Bariatric is contracted with many more insurance companies, so be sure to call your provider.
Private Pay
We understand that insurance requirements can delay or prevent access to bariatric surgery. That’s why we offer a streamlined self-pay option designed to help qualified patients move forward without unnecessary barriers.
Whether you’re uninsured, don’t meet insurance criteria, or have a bariatric exclusion on your policy, our competitively priced, all-inclusive surgery package provides a clear and predictable path forward.
Through our Fast-Track Pathway to Surgery, many self-pay patients can schedule surgery within 30 days of their initial consultation.
