Body
Recommended Action: Approve the Agreements and Authorize the Chairman to Sign.
These agreements serve to subcontract the provision of Intellectual and Developmental Disability (IDD) 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, these agreements assure that services are provided for eligible individuals with IDD. All these agreements are renewals.
The agreements for the following contractors provide both the ability to bill the Medicaid system directly and to receive payment from Sedgwick County for services that are provided to eligible individuals through August 31, 2018
Alpha House, Inc.
Dream Catchers Case Management, Inc.
Life Works
First Choice Children's Homecare, LP; DBA Thrive Skilled Pediatric Care
ResCare, Inc.; DBA Life Choices
Wichita Trans4mation
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 the above 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.
