West Virginia Code·November 7, 2026
West Virginia Code | §9-5-35

This recently updated section of the West Virginia Code authorizes the integration of 'Food is Medicine' services into the state's Medicaid program. It directs the Department of Human Services to encourage Medicaid managed care organizations to offer nutrition-based interventions to improve health outcomes for members with chronic diseases.

HNH Insight

This update reflects a state-level legislative effort to formalize Food is Medicine as a cost-effective strategy within Medicaid, providing a legal framework for managed care organizations to implement nutrition-based interventions.
