Kansas DEHQ State Report
In Kansas, the state coordinates care for more than 40,000 full-benefit dual-eligibles through a variety of systems, including KanCare (Medicaid managed care), Dual-eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs), and the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). These programs aim to deliver medical care, behavioral health services, and long-term services and supports in an integrated and cost-effective way.
Dual-eligibility refers to someone who qualifies for both Medicare and Medicaid coverage. They are often individuals with limited income that are either age 65 or older or under 65 with a qualifying disability. You can find more on the basics of dual-eligibility here.
