Beginning the weight-loss process

You can begin your weight-loss journey today. Schedule a consultation to learn more about the Nebraska Medicine Bariatrics Center and how we can help you reach your weight-loss goals.

Step 1: Understand your coverage

Before beginning your weight-loss journey, it’s important to understand what your insurance plan covers. Not all insurance plans include bariatric surgery or medical weight-loss programs.

You should contact your insurance company and ask about:

  • Bariatric surgery coverage.
  • Medical weight-loss coverage.
  • Any deductibles and co-pays.
  • Requirements or criteria for approval.

If they ask for sample procedure codes, you can provide 43644 (laparoscopic gastric bypass) and 43775 (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy).

Step 2: Make an appointment

Step 3: Complete your intake forms

Some of our weight-loss programs require intake forms to be completed before your visit. Submit them as soon as possible to avoid delays.

Step 4: We'll contact you before your appointment

After we receive your intake forms, we’ll contact you  to confirm your insurance information.
