KanCare faces CMS review over privatized Medicaid system
Kansas prepares for an on-site CMS review in March after CMS declined to renew the 2012 waiver, citing noncompliance risks. Supporters cite increased primary care access and lower ER use, while critics allege MCO cost-cutting shifts burden to families and low pay for home care workers. KCHE plans corrective actions and aims to extend the waiver.
