Keep developmental disability services OUT of KanCare.
Why is this important?
The long-term supports that we seek to keep out of KanCare consist of a variety of services ranging from personal care for those with serious intellectual disabilities to help finding and keeping jobs. These supports do not fit the medical model that MCO's provide. Currently we have seen devastating results including MCO's interfering with medications, PCP's assigned miles away, providers who are not getting paid, a deep lack of understanding by the MCO's and the government on what it takes to care for individuals with intellectual disabilities long term.
