A description of morbidly obese state employees requesting a bariatric operation
چکیده انگلیسی
The morbidly obese members of this medical insurance plan who requested a bariatric operation are costing their plan 1.4 to 2.8 times the yearly amount of the other adult members in medical expenses. The yearly mean amount the insurance plan spends on these members suggests that operative treatment would pay for itself in a relatively few number of years if it could significantly reduce these costs. Even in those who consider bariatric operation, many withdraw, further limiting the costs of operative therapy.
