This bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, designated 33-15-24, which mandates insurance coverage for GLP-1 class medications, provided that individuals have a valid prescription for these medications. The intent of the bill is to ensure that patients who require GLP-1 medications for their health conditions can access them through their insurance plans.

The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies that insurance coverage must be provided for GLP-1 class medications, thereby expanding the scope of covered treatments under the Accident and Sickness Insurance article. This amendment aims to improve access to necessary medications for individuals who are prescribed GLP-1 drugs, which are often used for managing conditions such as diabetes and obesity.
