Shared Data

 

Both DCF & KDHE process programs in KEES. Even though each agency’s programs are on different case numbers, the majority of the person level data in KEES is shared. This means data collection pages in KEES are used by both DCF and KDHE to collect information and determine eligibility.

Since a large portion of the data is shared it is imperative that each agency communicate when critical data is added, edited or ended. Below are the scenarios and communication protocol decided by policy members from each agency that must be communicated across agencies. For more information on each data collection page go to Data Collection Page Desk Aid.

 

Please Note: Addresses for Individuals who are Permanently Out of the Household (home) should never be updated.

When to Notify

Purpose

Medical Case Contact Log Entry

Contact Summary Address
When an instate address change is reported  for a household that includes a beneficiary receiving ASM with DCF.

When an address is updated on the Contact Summary page on a Medical case, the address does not feed to KMMS for the PPS individual.  The address in KMMS is dependent on the address of the resource used as the PPS Payee on the Medical Program Block.

**Email to be sent with Non-Medical case number and updated information to the mailbox below**

DCF.PPMedicaid.Assistance@ks.gov

Individual Demographics Name Change
When a name change is reported for a beneficiary on a Medical case but they are receiving ASM with DCF PPS.    
 

Failure to report a name change on a PPS individual to DCF can delay necessary verifications being requested to update correct Medical coverage on the Non-Medical case.
