KanCare Informational Sessions to be Held

The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services is holding several meetings across Kansas to describe how Medicaid will transition into a Managed Care system called KanCare, beginning Jan. 1, 2013.  The meetings, being held August 21st through August 31st, are geared more towards aging and disability services and less towards medical services.  

There will be a provider-focused meeting from 10am to 12pm; and a consumer-focused meeting from 2:00-4:00pm on each scheduled date, at each site.  The closest meetings to CLO service locations are as follows:
