All long-term care providers should have received an email from KDADS last week regarding the Third Quarter Provider Assessment due July 31, 2017. None of the procedures and amounts have changed, however providers that are having cash flow issues paying the Provider Assessment should note that they need to contact KDADS and they will work out a payment plan for you. They have also indicated in meetings that if providers that are having issues are also having issues with Medicaid Pending applications they will try to assist you with those applications. As highlighted on the instructions, “To avoid penalties being assessed, please be sure to contact KDADS prior to the due date to arrange a payment plan.”
