If you turned 18 years of age while in foster care in the custody of DCF, KDOC-Division of Juvenile Services, or Tribal Authority you may be eligible for a medical card that covers you through one of Kansas’ Managed Care Organizations. You can use the card through the month you turn 26, as long as you live in Kansas and are not in a detention facility.
We want to be sure you have the medical coverage you need. To apply, contact your Independent Living worker below who will help you set up an online account and complete the application “For Families and Children” at care.ks.gov/apply.htm.
It’s easier than it looks and you can choose which Managed Care Organization best fits your needs.
You can contact the Regional Independent Living Social Worker if you have questions.
