Kansas turned most of the administration of Medicaid over to three private health insurance companies last month.
On January 1st, Kansas Medicaid became KanCare, affecting nearly 370,000 Kansans. Under KanCare every Kansan who has Medicaid will have the choice of three insurers–Amerigroup, Sunflower and United.
Gov. Sam Brownback has said the overhauled program will deliver better-coordinated services with less cost.
A series of informational meetings about the new KanCare program are being held across the state this month. There are two sessions in Hays Thursday at the Ramada Inn, from 1 to 3 p.m. and again that evening from 6 to 8.
Kansans can also contact their legislators or find out more at www.kancare.ks.gov.
