The Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (H.R. 4231/S. 1973)
Congress must support and advance bipartisan legislation to ensure Medicare beneficiaries can access safe, effective, and life-saving treatments for obesity.
For more than a decade, the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA) has served as the leading legislative vehicle to improve access to comprehensive obesity care for Medicare beneficiaries. The bill has consistently received bipartisan support each time it has been introduced.
More recently, the administration has taken steps to expand coverage of obesity medications for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries through the BALANCE Model. However, as program details are developed and implemented, TROA remains the primary way for members of Congress to demonstrate support for lasting improvements in obesity care.
This legislation (S. 1973/H.R. 4231) will prove critical to supporting the millions of Americans living with this complex, chronic disease.
