ADDENDUM
To Fiscal Note on
SB-1007, File No. 364
AN ACT REQUIRING HEALTH INSURANCE AND MEDICAID
COVERAGE FOR THE TREATMENT OF SEVERE OBESITY.
Primary Analyst: AN 5/4/21
Contributing Analyst(s):
Based on newly provided information by the Office of the State
Comptroller, the bill will result in an annual cost of approximately $1.8
million to the state employee and retiree health plan to offer
prescription drugs that treat severe obesity. The plan currently covers
surgical treatments.
Pursuant to federal law, self-insured plans are exempt from state
health mandates. However, the state plan has traditionally adopted
such mandates.
