The bill authorizes the Kansas state employees health care commission to provide coverage for early egg and peanut allergen introduction dietary supplements for infants, starting with the health plan coverage year beginning January 1, 2026. It defines key terms related to dietary supplements and specifies that these supplements must be prescribed by a healthcare provider to infants under one year of age.
Additionally, if the commission decides to offer this coverage, it is required to submit an impact report to the legislature by March 1, 2027. This report must include information on the impact of the coverage on the state health care benefits program, data on utilization and costs, and a recommendation on whether to continue the coverage. The legislature may then consider mandating this coverage in various health insurance policies starting January 1, 2028.
