1 Bariatric Surgery Policy Number: Original Effective Date: MM /11/2001 Line(s) of Business: Current Effective Date: HMO; PPO; QUEST Integration 04/28/2017 Section: Surgery Place(s) of Service: Outpatient; Inpatient I. Description Surgery for morbid obesity, termed bariatric surgery, falls into two general categories: 1) gastricrestrictive procedures that create a small gastric pouch, resulting in weight loss by producing early satiety and thus decreasing dietary intake; and 2) malabsorptive procedures, which produce weight loss due to malabsorption by altering the normal transit of ingested food through the gastrointestinal tract. Some bariatric procedures may include both a restrictive and a malabsorptive component. HMSA is carefully monitoring the evolving literature and specialty society recommendations regarding the efficacy of lap band. Though we do not believe there is enough evidence at present to stop covering this procedure, HMSA believes providers should make it clear to members that current best practice distinctly favors gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy over placement of a lap band. Morbid obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) greater than 40 kg/m2 or a BMI greater than 35 kg/m2 with associated complications including, but not limited to, diabetes, hypertension, or obstructive sleep apnea. Morbid obesity results in a very high risk for weight-related complications, such as diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and various types of cancers (for men: colon, rectum, and prostate; for women: breast, uterus, and ovaries), and a shortened life span. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference defines surgical candidates as those patients with a BMI of greater than 40 kg/m 2, or greater than 35 kg/m 2 in conjunction with severe comorbidities such as cardiopulmonary complications or severe diabetes. Resolution (cure) or improvement of type 2 diabetes mellitus after bariatric surgery and observations that glycemic control may improve immediately after surgery, before a significant amount of weight is lost, have promoted interest in a surgical approach to treatment of type 2 diabetes. The various surgical procedures have different effects, and gastrointestinal rearrangement seems to confer additional anti-diabetic benefits independent of weight loss and caloric restriction. The precise mechanisms are not clear, and multiple mechanisms may be involved. Gastrointestinal peptides, glucagon-like peptide-1 (1GLP-1), glucose -dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), and peptide YY (PYY) are secreted in response to contact with unabsorbed nutrients and by vagally mediated parasympathetic neural mechanisms. GLP-1 is secreted by the L cells of the distal ileum in
2 Bariatric Surgery 2 response to ingested nutrients and acts on pancreatic islets to augment glucose-dependent insulin secretion. It also slows gastric emptying, which delays digestion, blunts postprandial glycemia, and acts on the central nervous system to induce satiety and decrease food intake. Other effects may improve insulin sensitivity. GIP acts on pancreatic beta cells to increase insulin secretion through the same mechanisms as GLP-1, although it is less potent. PYY is also secreted by the L cells of the distal intestine and increases satiety and delays gastric emptying. II. Criteria/Guidelines HMSA strongly recommends bariatric surgery be performed at a surgical facility where comprehensive weight management services can be offered at the same site. This insures continuity of care and optimal outcomes for patients. Members traveling out of state must plan surgery at a Blues Center of Distinction for bariatric surgery with an agreement for continuity of care in the state where the member resides. Patients should undergo a multi-disciplinary evaluation and engage in ongoing counseling for weight loss, best nutritional practices, exercise, lifestyle changes, and pre and post-surgery support. A. Surgery for morbid obesity is covered (subject to Limitations and Administrative Guidelines) for members when the following criteria are met: 1. The patient is morbidly obese, defined as either of the following: a. Persistent and uncontrollable weight gain that constitutes a present or potential threat to life; i. Weight that is at least 100 pounds over or twice the ideal weight as described in the Metropolitan Life tables; or ii. A BMI greater than 40 kg/m²; or b. BMI of between 35 and 40 kg/m² with one of the following high-risk comorbidities: i. Moderate to severe sleep apnea (defined as defined as AHI >15 or oxyhemoglobin saturation below 90 percent for more than 20 percent of the total sleep time ; or documented pulmonary hypertension on echocardiogram or right heart catheterization; or sleep apnea induced right heart failure requiring hospitalization). ii. Pickwickian syndrome iii. Obesity-related cardiomyopathy iv. Type II diabetes mellitus with evaluation and recommendation for surgery by a multi-disciplinary team with expertise in weight, metabolic, and diabetic management and which is part of a comprehensive weight management program associated with the facility where the surgery will be performed. c. BMI of between 30 and 34.9 kg/m 2 with type II diabetes Type II diabetes mellitus with evaluation and recommendation for roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery by a multi-disciplinary team with expertise in weight, metabolic, and diabetic management and which is part of a comprehensive weight management program associated with the facility where the surgery will be performed. For this category of patient, only Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is covered as the evidence has shown compelling benefit specifically with this particular operation, and not the other alternatives.
3 Bariatric Surgery 3 2. The surgery is intended to achieve one of two results: a. Alteration of the mechanics of food absorption; or b. Alteration in the volume of food ingested. 3. There is documentation that the patient's efforts to lose weight have not been successful. B. Surgery for morbid obesity in adolescents is covered (subject to Limitations/Exclusions and Administrative Guidelines) when the member meets the same weight-based criteria used for adults but greater consideration will be given to psychosocial and informed consent issues. All devices must be used in accordance with FDA-approved indications. C. Revisions, replacements, and re-dos of bariatric procedures are covered (subject to Limitations and Administrative Guidelines) if the patient met policy criteria at the time of the initial procedure, and there is documentation of a medically significant complication or failure. D. Bariatric surgery is covered only if the patient meets the criteria outlined above and when: 1. The facility is located in the state of Hawaii, has a contract with HMSA to perform bariatric surgery and has a comprehensive weight management program; or 2. The facility is an approved Blues Center of Distinction for bariatric surgery with an agreement for continuity of care in the state where the member primarily resides. III. Limitations A. Lap band procedures must be performed in the outpatient setting unless the physician is recommending the procedure be done in an inpatient setting. When requesting precertification, the physician should outline concerns about the member's comorbidities, complex problems, age considerations, etc. B. Polysomnography performed as part of the routine evaluation of patients prior to bariatric surgery is not covered as it is not known to be effective in improving health outcomes. Please see Polysomnography Sleep Studies policy for coverage criteria. C. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) performed as part of the routine evaluation of patients prior to bariatric surgery is not covered as it is not known to be effective in improving health outcomes. IV. Administrative Guidelines Precertification is required. To precertify for procedure and place of treatment, please complete HMSA's Precertification Request and mail or fax the form as indicated.

Important Reminder The purpose of this Medical Policy is to provide a guide to coverage. This Medical Policy is not intended to dictate to providers how to practice medicine. Nothing in this Medical Policy is intended to discourage or prohibit providing other medical advice or treatment deemed appropriate by the treating physician. Benefit determinations are subject to applicable member contract language. To the extent there are any conflicts between these guidelines and the contract language, the contract language will control. This Medical Policy has been developed through consideration of the medical necessity criteria under Hawaii s Patients Bill of Rights and Responsibilities Act (Hawaii Revised Statutes 432E-1.4), generally accepted standards of medical practice and review of medical literature and government approval status. HMSA has determined that services not covered under this Medical Policy will not be medically necessary under Hawaii law in most cases. If a treating physician disagrees with HMSA s determination as to medical necessity in a given case, the physician may request that HMSA reconsider the application of the medical necessity criteria to the case at issue in light of any supporting documentation.
