KS HB 2039: new version, As Introduced
Summary
Kansas HB 2039, as introduced, amends several state healthcare regulatory definitions: it adds maternity centers to the definition of healthcare provider under the healthcare provider insurance availability act, excludes certain physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology entities from the home health agency definition under the Kansas credentialing act, and addresses paramedic and emergency medical technician authority, ambulance service hours, and AED registration. The bill passed the Kansas House on February 19, 2025, by a vote of 119 to 0.
What this may mean
If enacted in this form, Kansas maternity centers gain access to the healthcare provider insurance availability framework, and certain therapy-services entities are excluded from home health agency regulatory requirements under state credentialing law. The bill does not implicate federal Medicare or Medicaid billing rules, AKS, Stark Law, FCA, HIPAA, or behavioral health regulatory frameworks.
