Private health insurance
Private health insurance is important to have when it comes to bariatric weight loss surgery. Your private health insurance should be set up to cover obesity surgery. The amount of coverage that your private health insurance can give, will depend on a variety of factors, including:
- The type of health fund cover
- Primary or revisional surgery
- Type of surgery
- Anticipated complexity
- Time taken for the operation
These factors will determine the gap payment or out-of-pocket costs that is required for your bariatric weight loss surgery. It is also important to find out if your private health insurance covers excess hospital costs. This may only be applicable for some weight loss surgeries.
