Health plans required to cover management and treatment of obesity, and report required.

This bill requires health insurance plans in Minnesota to cover the diagnosis and treatment of obesity starting in 2025. It mandates coverage for intensive behavioral therapy, FDA-approved weight-loss medications, and metabolic surgery, ensuring these services are treated the same as other medical conditions regarding costs and deductibles. The law also directs the state to include medical assistance in this coverage and requires an annual public report on obesity trends and health improvements.
