Do you have Medicare? If you have Medicare in addition to Medicaid, please indicate in the question above your primary insurance as Medicare.

For patients who are Medicaid only, please be aware that bariatric surgery is not a covered benefit (either in NC or out of state).

After much consideration, the Duke Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery will not be accepting Medicaid as an approved insurance provider for bariatric surgery at this time. Unfortunately we are unable to process your application due to your insurance provider.
