AI Summary
This bill amends the Insurance Company Law of 1921 to require the Commonwealth's medical assistance program and certain health insurance policies to provide coverage for anti-obesity treatments, including bariatric surgery and FDA-approved anti-obesity drugs. The bill defines key terms such as "health insurance policy" and "health insurer," and specifies that the coverage requirements apply to policies offered, issued, or renewed on or after the effective date. The bill also abrogates a conflicting regulation.
