Pennsylvania SB271 requires health insurers to cover bariatric surgery and anti-obesity drugs for insureds.
Pennsylvania SB271 amends the Insurance Company Law of 1921 to mandate that health insurers provide coverage for bariatric surgery and related treatments for obesity and morbid obesity, as well as FDA-approved anti-obesity drugs, to insureds in Pennsylvania. This coverage applies to health insurance policies offering benefits for medical or hospital expenses. The bill also abrogates inconsistent regulations and specifies that these provisions take effect 60 days after the act's passage.
