Summary
Starting January 1, 2026, Kansas will provide Medicaid and CHIP coverage for case management and screening services for incarcerated youth in the 30 days before and after their release from prison. These services will be paid fee-for-service using specific T-codes with place of service 09 (prison/correctional facility).
Action Required
Before January 1, 2026: Billing team must update system to accept place of service code 09 (Prison/Correctional Facility) for HCPCS codes T1017 (targeted case management) and T1016 (case management) for Kansas Medicaid and CHIP members. Verify system can process fee-for-service claims for these codes when managed care assignment is not made. This affects only practices serving incarcerated youth populations in Kansas.
