With more than 20 years of experience in bariatric surgery, our experience, outcomes, dedicated staff, broad support group network and professional led aftercare make us the preferred center for bariatric surgery. We have outlined the pathway to Your Centennial Experience below.

Others who may be eligible for FAST TRACK are those with the following health plans: Blue Cross Federal Employee, Blue Cross Empire and Blue Cross Anthem. Call (615) 342 - 1231 to FAST TRACK your Centennial Experience!
Step One
Attend one of our free Informational Seminars
Step Two
Complete the Health Questionnaire.
(completion online will facilitate check in at the seminar; the questionnaire is also available for download from this site or at the seminar)
Step Three
If you plan to go through your health insurance for coverage of surgery, we will verify your benefits for surgery and then communicate to you both your benefits and the specific criteria that must be met for your insurance plan to cover surgery. Please see the financing/insurance section of our site for detailed information.
If you plan to self pay, please contact the surgeon’s office directly to set up your consultation.
Step Four (insurance patients only)
Once all of your insurance company’s criteria have been met, a letter will be sent to your insurance carrier for pre-determination. We encourage you to contact us at any point throughout the process at 615-342-1231 or 1-800-251-8200 ext. 1231 should you have questions.
Step Five
All patients will have a surgeon consultation, a psychological evaluation and attend a preop. class prior to surgery. We will advise you when to schedule these appointments.
Step Six (this step may be completed at any stage of the process)
All patients are expected to attend a minimum of one support group prior to surgery. We hold multiple support groups across the state, please click here for the support group nearest you.
Thank you, we look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Centennial Center for the Treatment for Obesity
