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 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.
