Summary
Kansas Medicaid (KMAP) now allows providers to bill wound care dressings and supplies as medically necessary for effective wound healing, with required documentation in medical records for frequent dressing changes. This change provides more flexibility in billing frequency compared to previous restrictions.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team should review DME/Medical Supply Dealer Fee-for-Service Provider Manual Section 8400, page 8-29 for updated billing guidelines. Providers must ensure medical necessity for frequent dressing changes is documented in patient medical records and readily available upon request. Monitor KanCare MCO implementation status via the Open Claims Resolution Log as implementation dates may vary by MCO.
