KMAP BULLETIN: Provider Enrollment Managed Care Changes

Date: 12/21/17

KMAP GENERAL BULLETIN 17295

In order to comply with CMS Managed Care Rule 2390, Kansas Medicaid will be making changes to provider enrollment requirements. Effective January 1, 2018, all providers must enroll and obtain a Kansas Medical Assistance Program (KMAP) identification (ID) number prior to contracting with a KanCare managed care organization (MCO). This requirement applies to new providers and existing KanCare providers at the time of re-credentialing. Providers will be unable to re-credential or initiate a new network provider agreement with a KanCare MCO until a KMAP ID number is received.

Additional information on the managed care changes will be coming soon.

Providers can contact KMAP Customer Service at 1-800-933-6593, option 2, with any additional questions.
