Common Questions
FAQ'S
Am I a candidate for medical or surgical weight loss?
Most adults with a BMI of 35+ (or 30–34.9 with weight-related conditions) may qualify for surgical options; medical weight management is available at a wider BMI range. We review your health history, goals, and insurance criteria, then recommend a path—surgical or non-surgical—that fits your needs. If you’re unsure, start with our quick candidate quiz or a consult.
What’s the typical timeline to get started?
The first step is to call and schedule your spot at our free educational seminar. This informative session will help you learn more about bariatric surgery, what to expect on your journey, and whether it’s the right path for you. You’ll also meet our experienced providers, explore the details of our comprehensive program, and get answers to all your questions about the process—from insurance verification to surgery preparation and support.
What does insurance cover, and is there a cost to review my benefits?
Many insurance plans cover bariatric surgery and portions of medical weight management when specific criteria are met. Our team provides a complimentary review of your insurance benefits to help you understand what’s covered, what requirements may apply, and what steps come next. We’ll guide you through authorizations and help clarify any out-of-pocket responsibilities so you can make informed decisions about your care.
How does Empower support me after I start?
You’ll receive ongoing follow-up with your provider and dietitian, plus access to regularly held support groups and Empower-hosted events. Our team focuses on sustainable habits, adjustments when needed, and steady support for long-term success.
At Idaho Empower, we understand the importance of trusted care. Our team is here to answer your questions about our programs, steps, and support.
