New Guidelines on Obesity Treatment May Herald Expansion In ACA-Mandated Coverage
Kaiser Health News Link to more items from this source
July 10, 2012

"Recently revised guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force ... recommend that clinicians screen patients for obesity ... Further, they say patients who meet or exceed that level should be offered or referred to 'intensive, multicomponent behavioral interventions' to help them lose weight.... Under the [ACA,] new health plans and those whose benefits change enough to lose their grandfathered status must provide services recommended by the Preventive Services Task Force at no cost to members. For the 70 percent of employers that already offer weight management programs, that may mean just supplementing what they already offer ... But some employers are concerned they may be on the hook for ongoing treatment as employees make repeated attempts to lose weight."
