The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) held public virtual stakeholder meetings to discuss potential changes to the bariatric surgery rule (citation: 300.3.c). During the two public meetings in September 2024, stakeholders expressed a preference for revising the existing rule rather than removing it entirely or keeping it unchanged.
In response to this feedback, HCPF held two additional public meetings to continue refining the rule. Staff presented updated language and facilitated further discussions on key areas of the policy. Stakeholders were invited to provide additional input on the proposed revisions and submit any supporting documentation or research by April 4, 2025.
Once staff have evaluated the feedback and made additional edits, we will communicate the next steps to stakeholders. If you are not already receiving updates, you can join the email list to stay informed.
