2052
2052.01 - An individual who is placed by a state agency into an out-of-state institution retains residence in the state making the placement. Thus, individuals who are placed in care facilities outside of Kansas by DCF retain their Kansas residence.
Providing basic information to individuals about another state's Medicaid program or about the availability of health care services and facilities in another state does not constitute a placement action. This would also include assisting an individual in locating an institution in another state provided the individual was capable of intent and independently decided to move.
