AN ACT relating to Medicaid.
SB 283 amends Kentucky's Medicaid law to prohibit using state Medicaid funds for two specific medical treatments: cross-sex hormones prescribed primarily for gender dysphoria treatment, and gender reassignment surgery. This directly affects Medicaid recipients seeking these services and providers contracted with Kentucky's Department for Medicaid Services. The bill makes a technical correction to clarify existing prohibitions in KRS 205.5365, updating the statute to explicitly list these two treatments as non-covered services under Medicaid. It does not create new coverage restrictions but adjusts the legal language to match current policy.
