Members have reached out to LeadingAge Kansas about HealthyBlue, the newest MCO contract awardee, asking for providers to sign their MCO contractual agreement. As a reminder, providers are able to choose which of the MCOs they would like to contract with – one, two, or all three. Ensure you read over the contract in its entirety and carefully examine for any language related to Medicare Advantage plans. If you have thoughts, feedback, or concerns – especially with anything related to Medicare Advantage language in the contracts, please contact Kylee Childs.
