State launches KanCare website
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services teamed up to create the state's new Medicaid program website, KanCare.
The site, www.kancare.ks.gov, was developed to contain material from the KDHE's former KanCare web page, as well as more content for Medicaid consumers.
"The goal with KanCare is to improve outcomes for our consumers while sustaining these essential services - and we're accomplishing this without reducing eligibility or cutting provider rates," said Robert Moser, KDHE secretary. "Through the participation of consumers, providers and advocates in the stakeholder input process, we've been able to tailor Kansas' Medicaid program to meet the needs of our state."
KanCare covers medical, behavioral health and long-term care services for Medicaid consumers beginning Jan. 1. A program for long-term services and support for individuals with developmental disabilities will launch Jan. 1, 2014.
