Require insurance coverage of eating disorders

Nebraska's LB 780 requires all health insurance plans sold in the state to cover eating disorder treatment starting January 1, 2027. This includes medical, psychological, pharmaceutical care, nutritional counseling, and all treatment levels (inpatient to intensive outpatient), without denying coverage based on body weight, BMI, or prior treatment history. The bill prohibits insurers from applying stricter limits to eating disorder benefits than those for medical/surgical care and mandates that treatment reviews be conducted by specialists in eating disorders. It directly affects insurance providers operating in Nebraska and individuals seeking eating disorder treatment covered under these plans.
