Kansas Community-Based Primary Care Clinic Program

kdhe.primarycare@ks.gov

The Community-Based Primary Care Clinic Program (CBPCC) provides grant funds to clinics to make primary medical and dental care, prescription drugs, and preventive healthcare services accessible and affordable to underserved Kansas residents, including uninsured individuals and those enrolled in public insurance programs that are operated by the State of Kansas and/or federal government with eligibility based on income (KanCare).

Applicant clinics must be nonprofit or publicly-funded clinics providing, or planning to provide, at least primary medical and/or dental care services. Funded clinics must have a policy of non-discrimination in the provision of healthcare services, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin. Clinics must provide services open to the entire community in their service area regardless of ability to pay, including a discounted fee schedule with reasonable charges for individuals below 200% of the federal poverty level. The discounted fee schedule must be in writing and be made available upon request. Clinics must have publicly posted signage to ensure that patients are aware of the availability of a sliding fee discount. Additional eligibility information is available on the program website.

Funding varies depending on available state funds and is distributed based on a formula.
