SB 1737 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions related to insurance coverage of annual kidney function screenings

SB 1737 requires Missouri health insurance plans to cover annual kidney function screenings for enrollees starting August 28, 2026. It directly affects residents with health insurance in Missouri who may be at risk for chronic kidney disease. The law mandates coverage for specific tests including glomerular filtration rate (GFR) testing, basic metabolic panels, and urine tests for albumin and creatinine levels. This policy change ensures these preventive screenings are included without cost-sharing for insured individuals.
