2640 MediKan - MediKan is a state only funded medical assistance program for adults who meet the following eligibility criteria.
2641 General Eligibility Requirements - The general eligibility criteria of act in own behalf (2110), cooperation (2120), SSN (2130), citizenship and alienage (2140), and residency (2150) must be met. The assistance planning rules of 4310 are also applicable. Persons convicted of medical assistance fraud per 11221 (5) are not eligible.
2642 Age - The MediKan program is limited to adults age 18 to 64.
2643 Other Assistance - MediKan coverage is not available to an individual who is entitled to SSA disability or SSI benefits, or who is eligible for or receiving Medicaid assistance.
2644 Disability -
MediKan eligibility is dependent upon meeting disability criteria. All
mandatory filing unit members of the family group must be included in
the assistance plan in accordance with 4310. The mandatory filing unit
shall consist of either a single individual or a married couple living
together. Assistance shall be limited to those individuals meeting the
Tier II disability level as defined in KEESM 2662(3)
For a married couple living together, both spouses must meet the disability
criteria. If one spouse is Tier II, and the other spouse is Tier I (or
already meets SSA disability criteria, or is 65 or older), the Tier II
spouse may qualify for MediKan while the other spouse may be eligible
for Medicaid. If only one spouse is Tier II and the other spouse is not
disabled (or 65 or older), there is no MediKan eligibility for either
spouse.
2645 Time Limited - Assistance under the MediKan program shall be limited to a fixed 12 month coverage period beginning with the first eligible month. Once established, the coverage period continues to run even if the individual becomes otherwise ineligible (ie: excess income or resources, moved out of state, marries a non-disabled person). There is no MediKan eligibility after the expiration of this period. If only one spouse has reached the limit, the other spouse is not eligible while living together.
2646 Reintegration Program - Reintegration is a special MediKan coverage program that has been established to provide time-limited medical assistance to eligible adults being discharged from Medicaid approved psychiatric hospitals or released from the Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility Central Unit or from the Larned State Security Program.
