HB 2309 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes the "End Organ Harvesting Act of 2026"

HB 2309, titled the "End Organ Harvesting Act of 2026," prohibits Missouri health insurance plans and Medicaid programs (including MO HealthNet and Medicaid managed care) from covering organ transplants or post-transplant care under two specific conditions: if the transplant occurs in China, or if the organ was obtained through sale or donation originating in China. The bill directly affects health insurers, patients seeking transplants involving China, and healthcare providers billing these insurers. Key provisions require health carriers to deny coverage for transplants meeting either of these China-related criteria. This is a policy change restricting insurance coverage for specific transplant scenarios, not a procedural measure.
