Establishing an advance universal newborn screening program, providing for the reimbursement of certain treatment services and extending the transfer of moneys to the Kansas newborn screening fund.

HB 2399 establishes a universal newborn screening program in Kansas to detect genetic conditions like phenylketonuria, hypothyroidism, and galactosemia shortly after birth. All infants born in Kansas will receive free initial screening tests, and families with diagnosed infants will receive support for treatment costs based on income levels. Families at or below 300% of the federal poverty level receive 50-100% reimbursement for treatment products, while higher-income families receive up to 50% coverage, with Medicaid covering eligible cases. The program also requires a registry for follow-up care and extends funding to the Kansas newborn screening fund.
