The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 982, seeks to amend title 17b of the general statutes by eliminating the requirement that prescription weight loss drugs and bariatric surgery be covered for Medicaid and HUSKY B beneficiaries. This change would remove the obligation for these programs to provide coverage for weight loss medications and surgical procedures aimed at obesity treatment. The primary purpose of this legislation is to relieve Medicaid and HUSKY B from the responsibility of covering weight loss drugs and bariatric surgery, which may impact the accessibility of these treatments for beneficiaries. By eliminating this requirement, the bill aims to streamline the services covered under these programs, potentially leading to cost savings for the state.
