Bill Summary
AN ACT concerning insurance; relating to health insurance; mandating health insurers to provide coverage for pain management services.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that all individual and group health insurance policies in Kansas must create a plan to ensure adequate coverage and access to pain management services, specifically including non-opioid and non-narcotic medications, as well as non-medication alternatives to opioid or narcotic drugs for pain relief. These insurance companies will be required to submit their plans to the Kansas Department of Insurance, which will then review them to determine if they provide sufficient access to these alternative pain management options and if they unfairly favor coverage of prescribed opioids over other pain management services. This requirement will apply to all health insurance policies in effect in Kansas starting January 1, 2027.
