    Medicaid reform concerns disabled Kansans

    TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Disability advocates don’t want the state to rush a plan to shift all state Medicaid services to managed care.

    The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that about 30 people gathered this past week at the Statehouse to express concerns.

    The Disability Rights Center of Kansas is among the worried groups. The organization’s executive director, Rocky Nichols, said Kansas needs to take its time as it makes the switch.

    He said his group wants to keep the Medicaid waivers for home and community-based care out of the new managed care scheme and then phase them in gradually.

    Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer is spearheading the reform effort. He has said previously that the plan transitions everything to managed care at once so that providers can shift their focus to “whole-person” care.
