Pricing and coverage

Fonasa’s Bono PAD gives access to certain surgeries at a value known in advance. To know whether you can use it, you must meet the established medical and administrative criteria.

The general requirements include:

• Being between 18 and 65 years old.
• Being a Fonasa beneficiary in tiers B, C or D.
• Meeting the BMI and associated-condition criteria set for the surgery:
• BMI of 40 or higher.
• BMI between 35 and under 40, when the required associated-condition criteria are met.
• BMI between 30 and under 35, in specific cases of hard-to-manage type 2 diabetes.
• Completing the required medical, nutritional and psychological evaluations, with no contraindications for surgery.
• Not having had bariatric surgery before, since revisional surgeries are not covered by this modality.

Meeting these general requirements does not automatically guarantee access to the Bono PAD. The indication must be confirmed through a medical evaluation and a review of your history.

Current reference values are:

• Gastric bypass: CLP 2,496,690 co-payment for the patient.
• Sleeve gastrectomy: CLP 2,333,850 co-payment for the patient.

These values correspond to the fee schedule published for 2025 and are for reference: Fonasa may update them. Confirm them with us or at fonasa.cl.

The Bono PAD includes a package of services defined by Fonasa, covering the main costs of the surgery:

• Fees of the team of professionals taking part in the operation.
• Use of the operating room.
• Hospitalization and bed days included in the package.
• Laboratory tests and imaging included.
• Instruments, supplies and medicines specific to the surgery.
• Follow-up and post-operative care included in the program’s coverage.
