The term “OneCare Kansas” refers to a new Medicaid option to provide coordination of physical and behavioral health care with long-term services and supports for people with chronic conditions.

OneCare Kansas expands upon medical home models to include links to community and social supports. OneCare Kansas focuses on the whole person and all his or her needs to manage his or her conditions and be as healthy as possible.

All the caregivers involved in a OneCare Kansas member’s health communicate with one another so that all of a patient’s needs are addressed in a comprehensive manner.

OneCare Kansas is intended for people with certain chronic conditions, like diabetes, asthma, or mental illness. These people must be KanCare members. They can be members who also receive Medicare along with Medicaid.
