Would you like treatment with the help of your German health insurer? Get advice from us – for stomach reduction this works without a prior application.
Medically reviewed byDr. med. Oliver ScheffelSpecialist in general and bariatric surgeryLast updated:
For stomach reduction with Weight Doctors SLEEVE®, BARIATRICS or REVISION you do not submit an application to your German health insurer and do not wait for approval. We organise all appointments and support you in four steps:
The multimodal programme (MMK) is a prerequisite for cost coverage, but is not itself a German health insurance service.
* For patients with German statutory health insurance: if the medical indication is established in line with the DGAV guidelines, reimbursement may be possible.
Where the medical indication is in line with guidelines, there is a chance of cost coverage for these treatments – the decision rests with your German health insurer:
Gastric balloon and Weight Doctors® hydroGMA are self-pay services; German statutory health insurers do not currently pay for GLP-1 therapy.
Over 35 specialists, 23 locations in 6 countries and more than 60,000 treatments supported: at Weight Doctors® you are cared for to a private-practice standard – whether via German statutory health insurance, private insurance or as a self-payer.
In just 3 steps you reach your no-obligation 1:1 consultation. We advise you personally and tailored to your situation – whether you are planning treatment through your German statutory health insurance, private insurance or as a self-payer.
The first step is a conversation: choose your treatment, location and appointment online here – consultation on site, by video or by phone.
