HB 2677 expands Medicaid coverage and reimbursement for treating obesity and implementing diabetes prevention programs. The bill requires Medicaid to cover anti-obesity medications, metabolic and bariatric surgery, and intensive health behavior and lifestyle treatment services. These services may be delivered in person or through telemedicine. Additionally, Medicaid will reimburse recognized diabetes prevention programs for eligible enrollees who have not previously participated. The Health and Human Services Commission must notify Medicaid recipients about the availability of these new treatment options​.
