If you or a loved one are in need of long term care, this book provides practical answers to complex Medicaid issues, including eligibility requirements, myths, facts and mistakes, application process and even support available. The reality in the United States is this: a sizable percentage of people will eventually need some form of long term care. The cost of assisted living and nursing home care is, at times, out of reach financially for anyone and can put most families in debt. Whether you are planning for yourself or a loved one, Medicaid is often the best bet for paying for long term care so learning about the complex Medicaid benefits is a prudent and fiscally responsible endeavor.

This primer is designed to provide the information you need to help your constituents.
In the state of Kansas, Medicaid policies are dispersed between three different manuals because the responsibility to implement Medicaid programs is divided between three state agencies. As a result of this Medicaid fragmentation, there is a deficiency in comprehensive Medicaid training. Federal and state history reflect that Medicaid agencies are frequently reorganized and Medicaid policy is constantly evolving in order to adhere to the passage of legislation and court rulings. To fulfill this need, a course about the different Kansas Medicaid programs was developed for allied health professionals. The online course, titled Introduction to Kansas Medicaid, consists of six modules; the first five modules provide information on the largest Medicaid programs in Kansas including their eligibility criteria. The final module is dedicated to post-Medicaid approval and how to navigate the multiple Medicaid state agencies and Medicaid managed care organizations. With an online learning platform instead of a face-to-face classroom, the course can be offered as effectively, but in an asynchronous format, so a broader audience can participate regardless of location. The intent of the course is to educate allied health professionals on the Kansas Medicaid programs so they can disseminate the knowledge to their patients and thereby improve Medicaid participation rates. The Introduction to Kansans Medicaid course has the potential to reduce barriers in accessing Medicaid, increase access to preventative care, minimize avoidable emergency room and hospital visits, and improve the overall health for low income Kansans.
