The Kansas Department for Health and Environment Medicaid Eligibility department plans to host quarterly nursing facility collaboration meetings starting this Friday, March 1st. The meetings will be separated out based on NF unit numbers, will have KDHE unit supervisors available, and aim to provide clarity to the Medicaid application and renewal process. This is a great opportunity to present challenges that your organization has been facing and to see if other providers are facing the same issue. See meeting invites for each unit below:
