AB 399 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires certain health insurance to cover certain health care related to severe obesity. (BDR 57-657)

AB 399 requires most health insurance plans in Nevada, including Medicaid, to cover medically necessary bariatric surgery and related pre- and post-surgery care for individuals with severe obesity. This includes services like psychological screening, nutritional education, and physical therapy, but explicitly excludes weight loss drugs such as those injected to lower glucose levels. Insurers must cover one surgery per lifetime and can require a preoperative period of up to three months at an accredited facility. The law applies to policies issued, delivered, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026.
