Dear Senator Gossage:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 219 by Senator Sykes
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 219 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 219 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 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. The
fiscal effect on the State Employee Health Plan associated with SB 219 is reflected in The FY 2026
Governor’s Budget Report.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
