Is there any insurance that covers the lap band completely? Given that you meet all the criteria?

Best Answer

It depends upon the benefits on your policy.

If your insurance policy covers 100% of surgery charges in general, then it may cover 100% of a lap band surgery. (Provided that there%26#039;s no exclusion and you meet the medical criteria.)

But, if your policy%26#039;s benefit level is 90% for surgery, then you%26#039;d have to pay 10%. Or 80%-20%, etc.

So, to answer your question, sure...its possible that someone out there has 100% coverage for a lap band surgery. If they are on a policy that covers surgery 100% with no deductible. And their policy doesn%26#039;t exclude bariatric surgery. And they get medical prior approval for the procedure. 15 years working for health insurance companies and medical providers

  • No. Health insurance rarely covers 100% of anything.
  • No. All elective procedures will have a copay. agent, 21+ years
