Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS)

Posted August 20, 2012 by Mandy Smith in ,

The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) invites you to attend one of the following informational sessions for people receiving services, family members/friends, providers, advocacy groups and others interested in the disability, aging, mental health and substance use disorder services we administer.  The purposes of these sessions are to provide updates and information about the implementation of the KanCare comprehensive managed care program effective January 1, 2013, and to respond to any questions you have.  (These sessions are different from those conducted last week, and that will be held in September, related to the broader KanCare program, in that they will focus specifically on the KDADS-administered programs and services.)

 

If you plan to attend a session, please RSVP by contacting Candy Youle with the Center for Community Support and Research at Wichita State University at (800) 445-0116 or candace.youle@wichita.edu.  Please provide (1) your name, (2) which informational meeting you will attend (date and time), (3) your contact information, (4) accommodation needs, and (5) how many people will be attending with you if more than yourself.

 

To learn more about KanCare, please visit http://www.kdheks.gov/hcf/kancare/index.htm, which will be updated regularly as implementation readiness continues.
