This bill amends existing Kansas insurance laws to require that all individual and group health insurance policies, medical service plans, and related contracts provide coverage for the refilling of prescription topical eye medications, effective January 1, 2026. The coverage is mandated under specific conditions: the medication must be for a chronic eye condition, the refill must be requested before the last day of the prescribed dosage period after at least 75% of the medication has been used, and the original prescription must allow for refills.

Additionally, the bill amends K.S.A. 40-2,103 and K.S.A. 40-19c09, removing certain provisions related to nonprofit medical and hospital service corporations and clarifying that these entities must adhere to the Kansas general corporation code and other specified statutes. The bill also repeals the existing sections of K.S.A. 40-2,103 and 40-19c09, streamlining the legal framework governing health insurance coverage in Kansas.
