An Act to Support Healthy Weight by Providing MaineCare Coverage for Certain Weight Loss Medications

This bill requires the MaineCare program to cover certain weight loss medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, which are approved by the FDA for treating obesity. Coverage would be limited to prescriptions from a primary care provider or a bariatric specialist and would require prior approval. This change would allow MaineCare recipients to access these specific medications for weight loss if prescribed by an approved provider.
