The KHI News Service is an independent news agency, largely focused on health policy issues and state government news, based in Topeka.

Health care providers across the country have been fearing the switch to a complicated new coding and billing system. Some were predicting an apocalyptic snarl of red tape. But when Heartland Health Monitor’s Bryan Thompson checked in with some Kansas providers about how things have gone the first month, they said “so far, so good.”


Heartland Health Monitor is a unique reporting collaboration focused on health issues and their impact in Missouri and Kansas. The partners —— KCUR Public Radio, KCPT Public Television, KHI News Service and Kansas Public Radio —— strive to bring listeners and readers timely, accurate and comprehensive coverage of a topic that leaves no one untouched.
