Kansas Legislature We act as a Payroll Provider for Kansas medicaid Waiver Program; Home and Community Based Services for people who chose to self-direct their Personal Care Attendants. These included the Physical Disabled, Traumatic Brain Injury, Frail-Elderly, and Mental retardation/Developmental Disability Waivers.
For persons who do not qualify for Medicaid Waiver services but need assistance in daily living activities, CILSWKS offers the Private Pay option. An individual may enter into an agreement to have CILSWKS provide any of the services offered by the Medicaid Waivers. Services are billed and an invoice is submitted to the Consumer. This is a valuable service to many individuals who want to remain in their own homes and not be forced to live in a nursing home. Private Pay / Self Pay Services may also be used on a temporary basis.
