Summary

The resolution tells the Public Employees' Benefit Insurance Program (PEHP) to expand its existing bariatric‑surgery pilot into a Weight Management and Obesity Pilot that also covers GLP‑1 drugs for obesity. It applies to state‑covered public employees who meet medical criteria and must follow the same coaching and participation rules as the surgery program. The change aims to give members another treatment choice while keeping costs within the current pilot’s budget.
