How Is KanCare Managed and How Are The Companies Chosen?
Since 2013, managed care companies (MCOs) have administered the day-to-day delivery of services to almost all Kansans who have Medicaid or CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) coverage through the state, under the umbrella of the KanCare program. Over the next several months, the state will be working through the complex selection process (known as “procurement”) to choose the next set of companies for this program.
