Provides for MO HealthNet coverage of anti-obesity medications
HB 2702 amends Missouri law to include medically necessary anti-obesity medications for all MO HealthNet participants, regardless of age. This change allows the state's Medicaid program to cover these drugs when prescribed by licensed physicians, dentists, podiatrists, or advanced practice registered nurses. The bill applies to individuals who qualify for MO HealthNet coverage, expanding the list of covered drugs beyond current limitations.
