The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 982, seeks to amend title 17b of the general statutes by eliminating the requirement that Medicaid and HUSKY B cover prescription weight loss drugs and bariatric surgery. This change would remove the obligation for these programs to provide coverage for these specific weight management treatments for their beneficiaries. The intent of the bill is to streamline Medicaid and HUSKY B services by removing coverage for weight loss drugs and bariatric surgery, which may reflect a shift in policy regarding the management of obesity and related health issues within these public health programs. The bill does not specify any alternative provisions or support for beneficiaries who may require these treatments.
