An Act amending the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284), known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921, in casualty insurance, providing for coverage for anti-obesity treatments; and abrogating a regulation.

SB 271 requires Pennsylvania health insurers to cover bariatric surgery and FDA-approved anti-obesity drugs for individuals aged 18 or older. It mandates coverage for treatments meeting standards set by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery or American College of Surgeons, including pre- and post-operative care like nutritional counseling. The law applies to all health insurance policies issued or renewed in Pennsylvania, requiring coverage "to the same extent as for other medically necessary procedures." It specifically abrogates a conflicting regulation (55 Pa. Code § 1121.54(1)) and takes effect 60 days after enactment. This directly affects insurers and Pennsylvania residents seeking obesity-related medical treatments.
