AN ACT concerning insurance; relating to medical assistance; requiring managed care organizations to provide an explanation of benefits to KanCare and CHIP enrollees; amending K.S.A. 39-709h and repealing the existing section.

AI Summary

This bill requires managed care organizations, which are private companies contracted by the state to administer health benefits for government programs, to provide an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) to individuals enrolled in KanCare and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) starting January 1, 2028. An EOB is a document that explains what medical treatments and services were paid for on behalf of a patient. The bill mandates that these EOBs, which can be delivered digitally or by mail, must include the enrollee's name and identification number, the healthcare provider's name and the date of service, the amount billed by the provider, the amount the managed care organization allowed for the service, and the amount actually paid by the Kansas medical assistance program. This change aims to provide greater transparency to enrollees about their healthcare services and costs.
