Kentucky / State / 2026 Regular Session, Ky. Acts ch. 110

HB 369 Added post-traumatic stress disorder to the hyperbaric oxygen therapy scheme

Catalog reconciledEnactedScope changed

Signed Takes effect

Expands benefits Adds post-traumatic stress disorder to the conditions for state-guaranteed hyperbaric oxygen therapy access.

The Colonel Ron Ray Veterans Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment Act of 2018 covered traumatic brain injury only. PTSD is the new part, and no disability rating is required anywhere in the scheme. Guidance written before the effective date describes a TBI-only benefit. The act guarantees access, not payment: a provider may still require the patient to pay.
