The bill establishes new coverage requirements for accident and health insurance policies regarding diagnostic and supplemental breast examinations. Effective January 1, 2026, all individual or group health insurance plans, including medical service plans and health maintenance organizations, must provide coverage for these examinations without imposing any cost-sharing requirements, such as deductibles or copayments. The bill defines key terms related to breast examinations, including "diagnostic breast examination," "diagnostic mammography," "breast magnetic resonance imaging," and "breast ultrasound," ensuring clarity in the types of services covered.

Additionally, the bill amends existing statutes K.S.A. 40-2,103 and K.S.A. 40-19c09, while repealing certain sections that are no longer applicable. Specifically, it removes references to previous provisions that may conflict with the new requirements. The amendments ensure that the new coverage mandates are integrated into the broader insurance framework in Kansas, reinforcing the commitment to comprehensive breast health services.
