In 2000, Kansas received HRSA SPG funds. The state collected quantitative and qualitative data to allow the creation of state-specific coverage options. The Kansas Insurance Department (KID) facilitated the process and worked with a steering committee to focus onto three coverage options:
- Tax credits for small businesses;
- Medicaid and HealthWave expansions; and
- Implementing the Kansas Business Health Partnership (KBHP) with a reinsurance component.
In 2004, the state of Kansas received a HRSA pilot planning project grant. The Kansas pilot grant team is modeling the impact of a reinsurance mechanism on insurance claims data. In addition, the team is exploring the option of reinsurance and planning a pilot to modify tax credits to employers for maximum impact.
