You may recall that Administrative officials held public forums in Topeka and Wichita last month on the subject of their 1115 waiver to be submitted to the Centers for Medicaid Services (CMS). This submission to CMS will in fact be a re-submission as the Administration withdrew their original application for the waiver to meet state policies requiring consultation with tribal health organizations.
The public forums were well attended and many participated via teleconference at the Topeka forum. However if you were unable to participate - or you were there but still have additional concerns or thoughts you would like to share with the Administration on the 1115 waiver there is still time to do so.
You may submit written comments via email to KanCare@kdheks.gov
The deadline to submit is July 14th. Seeing as that deadline falls on a Saturday, administration officials are encouraging comments to be submitted by this Friday.
Once the State re-submits the 1115 waiver to CMS there will be a second public comment period - this comment period will be hosted by CMS on their website. Stay tuned to The InterHab Insider, we'll be sure to notify you when the State re-submits and when CMS begins the public comment period.
