Kansas external-review reversal rate
Administered by Kansas Insurance Department. This is one cell of a 50-state public-record dataset; across measured jurisdictions the reported rate ranges from 17.0% (West Virginia) to 80.0% (Connecticut).
~54% overturn rate cited by NBC News (2025) attributing to Kansas Department of Insurance covering data since 2018. Cumulative period rate; not single-year. Department publishes Independent Medical Review program at: https://insurance.ks.gov/documents/department/publications/independent-medical-review.pdf
Denominators are not comparable between jurisdictions. Some states count cases received, some completed, some completed-and-eligible; some publish a complaint-process reversal rate broader than IRO-only external review. We reproduce the figure exactly as the jurisdiction published it and do not extrapolate.
The administering authority is Kansas Insurance Department. We could not machine-verify a stable public URL for this jurisdiction's external-review statistics at build time, so no source link is shown here rather than risk pointing you at a broken address. The underlying citation is recorded in the CSV and methodology.
