How has the nursing facility Medicaid add-on payment affected your organization’s financial stability and ability to serve Medicaid residents? The Kansas Legislature wants to know—and your feedback matters.
The Legislative Division of Post Audit (LPA) is conducting a performance audit of the add-on payment and will soon send a survey to administrators of Medicaid-certified nursing facilities using contact information provided by KDADS. The survey will help auditors understand providers’ experiences and evaluate the payment’s impact on facility financial health and access to care.
LeadingAge Kansas strongly encourages every member nursing facility that accepts Medicaid to participate. Cost reports can provide financial data, but they cannot fully explain what the add-on has meant for your organization, your operations, and the residents you serve. Your candid responses will help give legislators a more complete picture as they evaluate the program.
LPA has emphasized that individual survey responses are confidential under Kansas law and will not be accessible to KDADS officials, legislators, or the public.
Watch for an invitation from katelyn.abraham@lpa.ks.gov via member@surveymonkeyuser.com. Add both addresses to your contacts and check your spam or junk folder to help ensure you receive it.
LPA intends to reach all nursing facilities that accept Medicaid. If your facility does not receive an invitation, please let LeadingAge Kansas know so we can help connect you with the audit team. Questions about the survey or audit can also be directed to Katelyn Abraham, Associate Auditor, at katelyn.abraham@lpa.ks.gov or 785-431-0112.
Please take this opportunity to share your experience and help ensure the Legislature hears directly from the providers caring for Kansas residents.
