For a large group health benefit plan offered in the state, the act requires carriers to offer the policyholder the option to purchase coverage for FDA-approved anti-obesity medications, including at least one FDA-approved GLP-1 medication. The commissioner of insurance may adopt rules for the implementation of the act. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
