Questions

How much does weight-loss surgery cost?

Medicare's 2026 national price for weight-loss surgery is $12,595 at hospital stay. Prices vary by area; private insurance usually pays more.

Is this what I will pay?

These are Medicare's payment rates, a public benchmark for a fair price. What you pay depends on your insurance, deductible and the provider. Ask for a written estimate before you book; if you are uninsured or paying yourself, you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate.
