Medical assistance coverage of prescription drugs solely for weight loss prohibited.

This bill prohibits Minnesota's medical assistance program from covering prescription drugs that are used solely for weight loss. It directly affects Medicaid enrollees in Minnesota by removing weight-loss-only medications from the state's approved drug list. The law amends existing statutes to explicitly exclude such drugs from the drug formulary, which is the official list of medications covered by the program. This change takes effect on January 1, 2027, or later if federal approval is required. The bill also includes requirements for the state to report on formulary changes and their impact on enrollees.
