Summary
Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services has revised the Adverse Incident Reporting (AIR) and Management policy for HCBS providers, requiring updated reporting procedures for all adverse incidents involving individuals receiving KDADS services. This affects providers serving patients under HCBS waivers, behavioral health services, and other KDADS programs.
Action Required
By July 1, 2024: Billing and clinical staff serving KDADS program patients must review Section 8000 of the HCBS provider manuals for updated Adverse Incident Reporting requirements. Access the AIR system through the KDADS home page Web Applications section to report all adverse incidents. Monitor the KanCare Open Claims Resolution Log for MCO implementation dates as these may vary from the state policy effective date.
