Relating to authorizing the Public Employee Insurance Agency to provide insurance coverage for certain prescribed weight loss medications

This bill directs the Public Employee Insurance Agency in West Virginia to cover the cost of specific weight loss medications for state employees and their dependents. Effective July 1, 2024, insurance plans issued or renewed on or after that date must include coverage for GLP-1 agonist drugs when they are prescribed by a physician for weight loss purposes. The legislation applies directly to the agency's policies and contracts, ensuring that these particular treatments are reimbursed under the state's public employee insurance program.
