Bariatric Outcomes and Obesity Modeling: Study Meeting

Abstract

This study sought to (1) define the clinical impact and economic burden of bariatric surgical procedures, and (2) estimate the cost-effectiveness and budgetary impact of obesity treatments when compared to no surgical intervention. We developed a cost-effectiveness model and a payer-based budget and fiscal impact tool to compare bariatric surgical procedures to non-operative approaches for maorbid obesity. Use of these economic models based on data from the Department of Defense (DOD) population found that all evaluated surgical interventions were cost-effective compared to non-surgical interventions. These economic assessments models can inform helath policy decisions related to obesity.l
