    Yes, bariatric surgery can be covered by Medicare under some conditions. Some of the conditions are that the patient's BMI (Body Mass Index) must over 35, they have obtained a psychological evaluation and ascertained in several ways that weight loss surgery is the best option, and have a health condition connected to being overweight that will be helped by having bariatric surgery.
