Comprehensive Weight-Loss Care for Employees

Cleveland Clinic's Bariatric Center of Excellence delivers unmatched support, cost savings, and quality care to employers and their plan members. Employees receive the highest standard of care along with transparent pricing.

Our physicians carefully review the medical history and diagnosis of each participant to determine the best course of treatment. Our physicians will consider alternatives, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, and ensure that every patient is receiving the right care at the right time.  A dedicated patient navigator is then assigned to serve as the single point of contact throughout the patient’s weight loss surgery journey, providing essential support and encouragement along the way.

When employers implement a carve-out benefit, it allows 100% coverage for the employee as well as their covered dependents. Employees and their dependents receive a appropriateness of care review to ensure surgery is necessary. If surgery is deemed necessary, our team can work to support travel arrangements, provide a dedicated patient navigator, and implement exceptional service for every program participant. By helping take care of the details, patients can focus on what is most important — their health and recovery.
