Coverage

If you do not currently have coverage for KanCare, you can apply online. To apply for medical coverage, you must complete and submit an application. Use the guide below to get an application for you and your family.

Individuals with disabilities and the frail elderly applying for KanCare who believe they may qualify to receive long-term services and supports, Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS), make sure you check the box on the application that asks "Does this person need help with nursing home costs or in-home care?"

The application provides a large amount of detail on how to apply for the Medicaid waiver in-home services, which allows people to remain in their homes and communities, as well as for medical care. You can download and print an application if you go to the link on this page:
