These are not considered cosmetic surgery. The cost of your surgery whether will be covered by insurance will depend on you specific plan. Some insurance plans do not cover for sole weight loss alone. There will be better chances of qualification of coverage if surgery is indicated for obesity related co-morbidities and medical conditions rather than just weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>To get a better understanding of insurance coverage for bariatric surgery, make an appointment to consult our doctor today.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-6-e33f32b\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-89bc7cb6a227c623be09\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-89bc7cb6a227c623be09\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-89bc7cb6a227c623be09\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Why choose Surgicare?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-plus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-minus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-89bc7cb6a227c623be09\" class=\" collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-6-e33f32b\" data-parent=\"#accordion-6a227c623be09\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            \n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Surgicare, we provide specialised care for weight loss and metabolic conditions, led by Dr. Tan, an extensively trained bariatric and metabolic surgeon.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Tan completed his Fellowship in Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery at <em>Taiwan Min Sheng Hospital, Asia-Pacific Endoscopic Bariatric Surgical Centre<\/em>, under the guidance of renowned surgeon Professor Wei-Jei Lee.
