The Kansas Health Care Provider Directory web page lists active health care providers by individual licensure/certification category who are regulated by the Kansas Department on Aging's Licensure, Certification, and Evaluation Commission (LCE).
Providers in the following categories are required to be licensed under state law. These providers are required to be Medicare certified before Medicare reimbursement can be obtained for the services they provide. Medicare certification activities are carried out by KDOA as contracted agents of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (formerly known as HCFA) which is a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Definitions of KDOA regulated provider types as used in this listing are as shown below. Appropriate Kansas Statutes, Kansas Administrative Regulations, and federal laws/regulations should be consulted for the exact legal definition of these provider types.
