From Kate Gramlich:
Recent changes to Medicaid are impacting Topekans - if you or someone you know is on KanCare (KS Medicaid), here are some quick facts:
- Annual renewals paused in 2020 and re-started 2023. Almost ALL KanCare households will need to renew regardless of eligibility.
- Renewal forms are coming through the mail. If there's any chance KanCare doesn't have your correct address, use the Chatbot to update: https://kancare.ks.gov/ or call 1-800-792-4884.
- Check your mail at that address and respond ASAP. Sign your form and return it quickly even if you don't have all the info - KanCare will follow up. Not responding on time means your household loses benefits until forms are returned.
- Parents may not be eligible, but kids often still are!
- Call the Clearinghouse to find out if your renewal has already been sent or if it's coming soon: 1-800-792-4884.
- If you don't qualify for KanCare insurance and want to check out Marketplace insurance, call 1-866-826-8375 to talk with a Navigator at no cost.
