Bariatric Health Risk Assessment FAQ

What is a health risk assessment?

An HRA, or Health Risk Assessment, is a simple, digital quiz. Your answers are calculated to determine whether you are a candidate for weight-loss surgery.

What information will I need to complete the HRA?

You’ll be asked questions about your quality of life, your current medications, and any medical conditions for which you’ve received care.

What happens after I submit the health risk assessment?

You will receive an email with your results and details about the next steps on your weight-loss journey.
