HCBS providers should have received a message from KDADS Secretary Tim Keck regarding a new HCBS Rate Increase Survey. KDADS is collecting information on how the HCBS rate increases in state fiscal years 2018 and 2019 have impacted provider organizations. Please complete the survey by responding to the specific HCBS services you or your organization provides as part of the KanCare program. If you provide HCBS services, your participation is mandatory in order to ensure that they can provide transparent and accurate information to the Legislature.

Here is a link to the survey. Surveys should be completed by December 15, 2018 so that KDADS can summarize your responses for the legislative report. Individual provider information will not be shared with the Legislature.
