AN ACT relating to coverage for feeding or eating disorders.

Summary

The act requires every health plan—including Medicaid, student plans and limited‑service contracts—to provide benefits for feeding or eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge‑eating. Insurers cannot refuse or limit coverage using BMI, ideal body weight, or any other weight‑based standard, and must base medical‑necessity decisions on clinical factors. The changes are woven into existing health‑plan statutes to ensure consistent application.
