KanCare enrollment growth in Kansas Medicaid slows
Kansas Medicaid enrollment rose only 0.1 percent from 2012 to 2013, well below the typical 3 percent growth. The KanCare transition to private managers did not change eligibility, says KHI analyst, while enrollment totals include 61,286 children in CHIP and 225,116 in Medicaid, with 103,364 in programs for the disabled and seniors. Economic conditions may influence enrollment, and officials cautioned it is too early to determine long-term trends.
