Topeka, Ks. (westernkansasnews.com)

The State of Kansas has begun posting to a dedicated web page the documents outlining implementation activities in preparation for the Jan. 1, 2013, launch of KanCare. This information can be found at:

www.kancare.ks.gov/readiness_activities.htm.  

Amerigroup, United Healthcare and Sunflower State Health Plan are the three health plans selected to partner with the State to improve care coordination for the state’s 380,000-plus Medicaid beneficiaries. This new Medicaid system is designed to deliver better outcomes for consumers and sustain the $3 billion program in Kansas. KanCare will not cut provider payments, remove members from the program or reduce services currently being offered.
