Proposes an amendment to the Louisiana Code of Governmental Ethics. The bill seeks to create an exception allowing former sexual assault nurse examiners to provide services on a contractual basis to their former public employers after leaving public service. Currently, the law restricts former public employees from offering services to their previous agencies for two years post-employment, with certain exceptions. This bill aims to add sexual assault nurse examiners to the list of exceptions, enabling them to continue their specialized work without the two-year waiting period.

HOUSE APPROPS committee amendment [LINK] removes references to “dental services”
HOUSE INS committee amendment [LINK] requires health insurance plans to cover cancer treatments for Medicare enrollees if the treatments are recommended by nationally recognized guidelines. It removes Medicaid provisions to state run healthcare and sets the effective date for new policies as January 1, 2026. Existing policies must comply by their renewal date or by January 1, 2027.
Mandates that health insurance issuers in Louisiana provide coverage for integrative cancer treatments when used in conjunction with standard medical care. These treatments include acupuncture, cryotherapy, dental services, and scalp cooling systems. The bill specifies that dental services encompass evaluations and, if deemed appropriate, subsequent treatments or extractions for patients requiring bisphosphonates in cancer treatments. It also defines a "scalp cooling system" as a device used to cool the human scalp to prevent or reduce hair loss during chemotherapy, designed for repeated use and primarily serving a medical purpose. The coverage requirements extend to individuals eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. The bill allows for the application of annual deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments consistent with those established under the health coverage plan. The Louisiana Department of Health is tasked with making these integrative cancer treatments available to Medicaid beneficiaries, with eligibility determined in accordance with state and federal guidelines. The act is set to become effective on January 1, 2026.
