Title
Annual Affiliation Agreement with Life Works.
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the agreement and authorize the Chairman to sign.
This agreement serves to subcontract the provision of Intellectual and Developmental Disability (ID/DD) services in Sedgwick County to organizations and individuals that have met Kansas Department on Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) and Community Developmental Disability Organization (CDDO) standards. As the CDDO contracting with KDADS for Sedgwick County, this agreement assures that services are provided for eligible individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. The agreement with Life Works provides both the ability to bill the Medicaid system directly and to receive payment from Sedgwick County for day services that are provided to eligible individuals through August 31, 2015.
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. Life Works has been selected as the preferred provider for at least one individual.
Financial Considerations: Life Works may receive payments directly from Sedgwick County and/or bill Medicaid directly for services provided. Because the ID/DD service system works on a reimbursement basis, funding will not be paid to providers until after the service has been provided and verified.
