The annual attestation form will acknowledge the awareness of and compliance with Medicaid PDMP related policies.

The email address to submit the attestation form to is: kdhe.MedicaidPharmaceuticalProgramCommunications@ks.gov

The first submission is due by June 1, 2023, and should reflect provider compliance for the 2022 Federal Fiscal Year (FFY), date range October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022. After June 1, 2023, the annual attestation submission is due by January 1st of every year, beginning January 1, 2024. Each annual attestation will reflect PDMP activities performed for the previous FFY. For example:
Attestation Due Date  Attestation FFY PeriodFFY StartFFY End

January 1, 2026FFY 2025October 1, 2024September 30, 2025

The state will follow up with any provider that did not submit an attestation form or submitted a form showing non-compliance, to address any barriers to provider compliance.
