While each healthcare insurance policy can vary in coverage, most Aetna PPO insurance plans cover bariatric surgery. Like most insurance, patients do need to meet certain criteria. In general, most Aetna policies will require that adults have a BMI of 40 or higher or a BMI of 35 or greater with an accompanying comorbidity to undergo weight loss surgery. Patients will usually need a documented history of obesity and may need to complete a diet and exercise program before they can be approved for bariatric surgery.
