During the 1994 Legislative Session, the Kansas Legislature passed statutes authorizing the
Kansas Insurance Department (KID) to create a statistical plan, the Kansas Health Insurance
Information System (KHIIS), to contain health insurance data, K.S.A. 40-2251.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is serving as the statistical agent
for the purpose of gathering, receiving and compiling data required by the plan. The Progress Report of September 2000 has been prepared outlining accomplishments; an updated report for 2004 is also available. The objectives of the statistical plan are to determine if rates are reasonable in relation to benefits provided and to identify benefits or provisions that may be unduly influencing health insurance costs. To achieve this goal demographic information, insurance coverage provisions, and claims information is being collected for all covered lives in Kansas. Data may be requested using a data request form with the approval of the Kansas Insurance Department. Requests are to be forwarded to the Office of Health Care Information for routing. Technical manuals have been developed to provide direction in data submission. A variable dictionary describes variables included in the data collection. |
