Members of the military and their famlies have LAP-BAND Surgery benefits through their insurance plan, TRICARE. This recent news release details more information about the military TRICARE plan covering LAP-BAND Surgery.
“TRICARE covers procedures that have been proven safe and effective, and are accepted by the medical community,” said John Kugler, chief medical officer, TRICARE Management Activity. “For some beneficiaries, gastric surgery may be the right course of action to preserve their health.”
Weight Loss Surgical Center has worked with dozens of TRICARE patients to preauthorize surgery and get patients on track to losing weight. Our company founder and CEO is even retired from the military and has had a LAP-BAND Surgery to help him lose weight.
Many people may think that military families might be in great shape, but often times even military members struggle with weight after retiring from active duty and all the physical activity that goes along with it. The LAP-BAND System is a helpful tool for people who have gained a great deal of weight to lose the weight and get back in shape.
