CIGNA Certified Hospitals for Bariatric Surgery A The hospitals and facilities in this directory meet CIGNA HealthCare criteria for designation as a CIGNA Certified Hospital for Bariatric Surgery. 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 made based on a review of the quality and outcomes of the care delivered as reflected in the information provided by the facility in their application for certification. Cost was not considered. Our certification is important information you may wish to consider as you decide where to seek services. You are not required to receive services at a certified hospital or from a doctor associated with a certified hospital. 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. Always consult with your doctor about what decision is right for you. In addition, confirm that Bariatric surgery is a covered benefit under your plan and that your surgeon participates in your provider network. Those surgeons that are listed in this directory provide services at a CIGNA Certified Hospital for Bariatric Surgery and also meet our criteria for certification.
