Bill > SF3970

This bill requires health insurance companies in Minnesota to provide coverage for the management and treatment of obesity, including evidence-based behavioral, dietary, and physical activity interventions, bariatric surgery, and FDA-approved medications. The bill also mandates that the state's Medical Assistance program provide the same level of coverage for the management and treatment of obesity. The new provisions in the bill will take effect on January 1, 2025, and apply to health plans offered, issued, or renewed on or after that date.
