AI Summary
This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to allow medical assistance coverage for drugs and pharmaceutical ingredients used for weight loss. Previously, the state's drug formulary excluded drugs or active pharmaceutical ingredients used for weight loss, except for medically necessary lipase inhibitors for individuals with type II diabetes. This bill removes that exclusion, allowing coverage for a broader range of weight loss drugs and ingredients under the state's medical assistance program.
