Bill Summary

Requires health benefit plans to provide coverage for the treatment of obesity

AI Summary

This bill requires health benefit plans in Missouri to provide coverage for the treatment of obesity and related diseases, including intensive family-based behavioral treatment, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery. The coverage must meet the standards set forth by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery or the American College of Surgeons, and the treatment cannot be subject to greater deductibles or copayments than other healthcare services. The bill exempts certain supplemental insurance policies, such as accident-only or short-term major medical policies, from these coverage requirements.
