KanCare/Medicaid Members: Stay with your current provider (Sunflower, Amerigroup or United) or switch to one of the other two?

Posted December 20, 2013 by Mandy Smith in

Open enrollment for KanCare is underway. If you joined KanCare in January 2013, your open enrollment for plan year
2014 began this month, with changes going into effect Jan. 1, 2014. Open enrollment packets have been mailed out to
these members. For members who joined KanCare after January 2013, your open enrollment packets will be sent to you
around the anniversary date of you joining KanCare.

Open enrollment gives you the choice to change your plan if you want. If you choose to keep
the same health plan you have now, you do not need to submit an enrollment packet, and you
will be automatically re-enrolled in the same plan.

All members will have 60 days to review their open enrollment packet and decide whether or
not they want to stay in their plan or change to a different plan. For more information about
Open Enrollment, please visit www.kancare.ks.gov.
