Rapid Response Calls

NEW! Starting May 2, the Rapid Response Call will be held only once a week, on Thursdays, from 9-10:00 a.m. Check this space often for Call schedule updates as we assess the need for stakeholder calls based on call volume trends.

During this call, we welcome consumers, providers and other stakeholders to join the phone line and ask questions about their individual needs as it pertains to the transition to KanCare.

The KanCare program began conducting the then-daily operator-assisted stakeholder call on Dec. 26, 2012. Issues discussed on each call have been tracked in the State's KanCare Implementation Issues Log, in which you can find a list of the issues being worked by the State in support of consumers and providers.
