KanCare is the program that the State of Kansas uses to administer Medicaid. Kansas has contracted with three Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to coordinate healthcare for all of those on Medicaid. Each individual has a choice of one of the MCOs. All HCBS are a part of KanCare. The health plans are required to coordinate all care a consumer receives.

What is HCBS?

Home and Community-Based Services, or HCBS, in Kansas oversees the process of providing supports and services for people with disabilities in Kansas. Kansas HCBS Medicaid Waivers allow individuals to “self-direct” some or all of their in-home supports. Participant-Direction means that the participant or their representative has the right to hire, train, schedule, supervise and employ Personal Care Service Workers (PCSW) to work with the participant in their home and community.

Requirements

  • Have active KanCare (Kansas Medicaid)
  • Be physically disabled and / or have a chronic medical condition, such as diabetes, that reduces your ability to care for yourself without assistance
  • Must be at least 18 years of age
  • Have the desire and ability to self-direct your own care and employ your own attendant
