Bill > S609

This bill amends Chapter 118E of the General Laws to add a new section, Section 10H, which mandates that the division, likely referring to the state's health care financing agency, will cover anti-obesity medications that have been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for their prescribed uses, provided they are prescribed by a legally authorized health care professional. Additionally, the division will pursue manufacturer rebates for these medications, as outlined in federal law (42 U.S.C. 1396r-8(b)(1)), which pertains to prescription drug rebates under the Medicaid program.
