TOPEKA—The State of Kansas has developed and launched a website for the new Medicaid program, KanCare. The Web address is www.kancare.ks.gov.  

The site contains information and material from KDHE’s former KanCare Web page plus more content to assist Medicaid consumers and service providers during the system transition.

“This website can help Kansas families, doctors, Community Developmental Disability Organizations and individual service providers make informed decisions about their participation in KanCare. In 2013, once KanCare is underway, the site will serve as the launching pad for all Medicaid-related content and applications in Kansas,” said Dr. Robert Moser, KDHE Secretary.

The new integrated system of care coordination will cover the medical, behavioral health, and long-term care services for all Medicaid consumers beginning Jan. 1, 2013, with the exception of long-term services and supports for individuals with developmental disabilities, which will launch Jan. 1, 2014.
