Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Judges and families gain personal information protections

Kentucky agencies must remove covered judicial officers’ and family members’ personal information from public content within 72 hours of a signed request. Covered family includes spouses, children, parents, people in the officer’s family care or custody, and relatives sharing the household. Protected information includes birth dates, home addresses, personal phone numbers and emails, Social Security numbers, and biometric, medical, and insurance data. It also includes children’s identities, schools and daycare, and immediate family members’ employers. Parents or guardians can request removal for covered minors. Agencies cannot repost or release removed information unless the person voluntarily posts it online after the law’s effective date. Covered people can sue for a court order enforcing these protections.

More providers can review care rules

Managed care plans must let participating providers other than physicians review and comment on the plan’s care rules. Their input is limited to care within their legally allowed scope of practice. Physicians keep their review and comment rights for medical, surgical, and emergency room care rules.

Health denial notices change reviewer details

Health coverage denial letters must give the decision-maker’s title and state of licensure, but no longer require their name or license number. Managed care medical directors no longer have to sign these denial letters. Notices denying step therapy exceptions, denying coverage, or cutting payment for services subject to these review rules must identify the reviewer’s title. When those review notices go to a provider, they must also include the reviewer’s medical license number.
