The Honorable William Sutton, Chairperson
House Committee on Insurance
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 218-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Sutton:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2296 by Representative Featherston, et al.
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2296 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2296 would prohibit cost-sharing requirements for diagnostic or supplemental breast
examinations for breast cancer for every individual or group health insurance policy, medical
service plan, contract, hospital service corporation contract, hospital and medical service
corporation contract, fraternal benefit society or health maintenance organization that provides
coverage for accident and health services that is delivered, issued for delivery, amended or renewed
on or before January 1, 2026. The bill specifies that this requirement would only apply to health
savings account–qualified high deductible health plans after the enrollee has satisfied the minimum
deductible if federal law would result in health savings account ineligibility. The bill would also
define certain terms that relate to the coverage described in the bill.
The Department of Insurance indicates enactment of the bill would not have a fiscal effect
on the agency. The Department of Administration indicates enactment of the bill would not have
a fiscal effect on the State Employee Health Plan because the coverage is already provided. Any
fiscal effect associated with HB 2296 is not reflected in The FY 2026 Governor’s Budget Report.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
