Most insurance companies will require that surgery be performed at an accredited hospital rather than a stand-alone bariatric surgery center. Institute of Bariatrics @ Apollo Hospital, Chennai is one of the first fully accredited Centre of Excellence by Obesity & Metabolic Surgery Society of India (OSSi-COE).
This accreditation means that our facility is monitored and inspected on a regular basis to ensure we comply with, or exceed, national standards for our patients, the quality of our staffing, and our policies and procedures.
