Alternatives: The SCDDO is required to contract with qualified service providers that have been selected by an individual who is eligible to receive intellectual and developmental disability services. All existing providers have been selected as the preferred provider for at least one individual.
Financial Considerations: All listed providers may receive payments directly from Sedgwick County and/or bill Medicaid directly for services provided. Because the IDD service system works on a reimbursement basis, funding will not be paid to providers until after the service has been provided and verified. No additional budget authority is required as these are renewal agreements with recurring expenses.
