KanCare
KanCare is a statewide 1115 Waiver program for Medicaid services in Kansas. It was implemented in 2013 and initially approved for five years. After a one year extension, KanCare was approved for a five year renewal (KanCare 2.0) and implemented in January 2019. Home and community-based services are covered through 1915(c) Waiver programs that operate in parallel and are provided by managed care organizations. These programs are in the process of being more fully integrated into KanCare.
KanCare members who receive LTSS fall into one of four capitation rate categories:
- LTC, for people in institutional settings or receiving HCBS under the Frail Elderly or Physical Disability Waivers.
- Waiver, for people receiving HCBS under the Autism, Technology Assisted, Traumatic Brain Injury, or Serious Emotional Disturbance Waivers.
- DD Waiver, for people receiving HCBS under the Developmental Disability Waiver.
