Does medicare pay for lap band surgery?

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) doesn't typically cover weight loss surgery, including laproscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), also known as lap band surgery. However, some Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) and private Medicare supplemental plans (Medigap) may provide coverage for weight loss surgery under certain circumstances. It's important to carefully review your Medicare plan's coverage details and benefits, or contact your plan provider to determine if and under what conditions lap band surgery may be covered
