The CARE and PASSAR process continue to cause slowdowns and headaches for Medicaid and other payer sources when individuals are admitted to LTC. Join the new KDADS CARE team for a monthly office hours session for the latest updates on the CARE and PASSAR process, how to avoid pitfalls and frequently asked questions. Dedicated time will be set aside for you to ask your questions about the process. Please note questions should not be about specific individual or divulge HIPAA protected information. The first open office hours will be held on Wednesday, October 19th at 11:00 AM  and will continue the third Wednesday of every month at 11:00 AM.
