Approval of 1115 Waiver from CMSWith a little over a month left, the State has not yet received approval from the Centers for Medicaid on the State's 1115 Waiver request.  


Network AdequacyIn a related development, state officials posted on the KanCare website some "network adequacy" reports describing the managed care companies' provider networks. They said they would post additional reports as they are available.
