CIGNA JPMC Bariatric Centers Of Excellence

CIGNA JPMC Bariatric Centers of Excellence A
The hospitals and facilities in this directory meet CIGNA HealthCare criteria for designation as a
CIGNA JPMC Bariatric Center of Excellence. Our certification process was conducted by medical
executives and clinical specialists. Facilities that submitted applications for certification were
assessed against a series of strict criteria developed in accordance with guidelines from the National
Institutes of Health, the American Society for Bariatric Surgeons, and the American College of
Surgeons. Factors that were evaluated include surgeon training and experience, volume of
procedures, associated outcomes (including complication and mortality rates), implementation of a
multidisciplinary patient approach, and comprehensive pre- and post-operative care. Determinations
were based on a review of the quality outcomes of the care delivered as reflected in the information
provided by the facility in their application for certification. Cost was not considered as part of the
certification process.
Our certification is important information you may wish to consider as you decide where to seek
services. Remember, that while Bariatric Surgery is a covered benefit under the JPMorgan Chase
Medical Plan, you must meet the medical necessity guidelines. If you satisfy the medical necessity
requirements, confirm that your surgeon participates in your provider network and check if they are
affiliated with a certified hospital. As a reminder, in order to receive the additional $1,000 into your
MRA, you must seek services from a JPMC Bariatric Center of Excellence.
Always consult with your doctor about what decision is right for you. The surgeons listed in this
directory provide services at a CIGNA JPMC Bariatric Center of Excellence and also meet our
criteria for certification. It is our policy to regularly review all our participating healthcare
providers against our credentialing standards, and the lack of certification does not indicate that a
provider is not a quality provider of health care services.
