Residents across Kansas are encouraged to take part in a slate of virtual meetings this week on the future of KanCare.
Meetings are from 1-3 pm or 6-8 pm both Tuesday and Wednesday. A special payor meeting is also coming online from 4-6 pm Thursday.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment is asking the public and KanCare beneficiaries to get involved, specifically to learn more about what’s called the 1115 Waiver — which outlines the state’s KanCare authority and responsibilities. It also lets states test new funding or service delivery approaches for Medicaid and the state’s Children Health Insurance Program, or CHIP.
Registration links can be found below. More information about KanCare authority is online at kancare.ks.gov.
