Kansas Medicaid backlog climbs hitting long term care
The KanCare Medicaid eligibility backlog in Kansas has risen again, delaying payments for nursing homes and forcing facilities like Villa St. Francis in Olathe to pursue advances and rely on parish support. Backlog traces to KEES system rollout and a 2015 administrative change centralizing processing through a Clearinghouse, with 2247 applications pending four days or more and counties reporting increased costs to APS and other state services.

Hillsboro City Aids Salem Home With Rent Subsidy
Salem Home in Hillsboro faced cash flow issues due to delayed Medicaid payments and state budget cuts after new director Peter Mungall took over in October. The Public Building Commission will not subsidize rent for six months, a goodwill gesture to stabilize the aging facility serving a small local population.
