Concerning measures to improve outcomes for individuals with an eating disorder.

Bill Summary:

The act lists the minimum factors to be considered when determining medical necessity or appropriate level of care for an individual with an eating disorder. The act prohibits certain health benefit plans or the state medical assistance program from utilizing the body mass index, ideal body weight, or any other standard requiring an achieved weight when determining medical necessity criteria or appropriate level of care for an individual with a diagnosed eating disorder. The prohibition does not apply when determining medical necessity or the appropriate level of care for an individual diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, restricting subtype or binge-eating/purging subtype; however, body mass index, ideal body weight, or any other standard requiring an achieved body weight must not be the determining factor when assessing medical necessity or the appropriate level of care for an individual diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, restricting subtype or binge-eating/purging subtype.

The act states a retail establishment engages in a deceptive trade practice if the retail establishment sells, transfers, or otherwise furnishes over-the-counter diet pills to any individual under 18 years of age.
