Securing the Future of Children’s Health Care in Kansas
Jun 27, 2024
More than 75,000 Kansans’ Medicaid coverage has been discontinued – nearly two-thirds of those are children – due to the conclusion of the continuous Medicaid coverage requirement, known as Medicaid Unwinding.
While the unwinding process has now ended, KAAP stands committed to ensuring no child goes without necessary medical attention.
Innovative Tools for Providers
Patient Kancare Coverage Algorithm
To further support this initiative, KAAP has developed an innovative algorithm to assist healthcare providers. This tool helps identify the best resources and alternative coverage options for patients who have lost their Medicaid coverage, ensuring continuous care for every child.
Introducing the Medicaid Online Quiz
In partnership with Cover Kansas, we have launched the Medicaid Online Quiz, a new user-friendly tool designed to simplify the process for families unsure about their coverage. By answering a series of questions, users can quickly assess their Medicaid status and receive guidance on enrollment processes or alternative healthcare resources.
Partner with MCOs
KAAP is here to support you and your patients, particularly when the children you are serving miss appointments due to coverage issues. KAAP can connect you with MCO partners to run lists of your patients affected by coverage loss.
