Enacting the Kansas managed care bid fidelity and accountability act prohibiting the termination of certain clinical service contracts, providing penalties for material deviations from request for proposal responses and requiring reporting to the legislature of bid audits and material deviations.

HB 2753, the Kansas Managed Care Bid Fidelity and Accountability Act, requires managed care organizations (MCOs) providing Kansas Medicaid services to maintain strict adherence to their initial bid proposals for 24 months. It prohibits MCOs from unilaterally terminating contracts with healthcare providers listed in their original bid without specific justification (like fraud or immediate safety risks), and mandates 90-day notice for any allowed cancellations. The bill imposes penalties - including $100,000 fines per violation, 5% capitation payments, or suspension of new member assignments - for material deviations, such as reducing provider networks or making prior authorization more restrictive than promised. These provisions aim to ensure stable access to healthcare providers for Medicaid recipients by holding MCOs accountable to their contractual commitments.
