Does Health Insurance Cover The Lap Band Surgery? 
Some health insurance plans will cover a percentage of the cost of bariatric surgeries -LRB- including lap bands -RRB- - you would be responsible for the difference . Please note , plans that provide coverage for it may have certain requirements be met for the plan to pay a benefit so you may want to verify with the carrier what/if they will pay for a portion of the surgery . If you 're unsure whether your health plan provides coverage for the procedure , you can check the language inside of your policy , or contact your agent/the carrier to find out . I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for assistance with your program and if you have any other questions . Thanks very much .
