Imposing certain health insurance coverage requirements for screening and diagnostic examinations for breast cancer.
SB 219 requires most health insurance plans in Kansas to cover diagnostic and supplemental breast examinations (including mammograms, MRIs, and ultrasounds) with no out-of-pocket costs for enrollees. It applies to individual and group health insurance policies delivered, renewed, or amended on or after January 1, 2026, directly affecting Kansas residents with such coverage. Diagnostic exams cover evaluating abnormalities found during screening or detected otherwise, while supplemental exams screen high-risk individuals without current abnormalities. The bill repeals prior insurance coverage restrictions and mandates full coverage without deductibles, copays, or coinsurance for these specific services.
