Supportive friends and family members are also invited and encouraged to attend the in-person seminars.

PAYMENT AND INSURANCE INFORMATION FOR BARIATRIC WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY:
During your first consultation, Sterling Surgicare’s administrative team will partner with you to determine any bariatric weight loss surgery medical coverage for which you may be covered.
We will also discuss the Insurance Pre-Authorization process and our payment structure based upon your situation.
Patients should be aware there may be out-of-pocket expenses during the course of the pre-and post-operative period. Some employers do not purchase health insurance policies that include bariatric surgery, or may not cover some procedures. First and foremost, you should review your medical insurance policy coverage by calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card.
Ask if your policy covers the “Surgical Treatment for Morbid Obesity” which has the CPT diagnosis code 278.01. If they do, ask your insurance company to send you the Medical Policies for this treatment and bring a copy to your initial consultation. This will greatly expedite the pre-authorization for your procedure.
Effective 2023, Dr. Adeyeri is an in-network provider with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey (Horizon Blue).
