Kansas Home Care Agency Complete Startup Package

Yes. Kansas requires an agency that provides or holds itself out as providing home health, supportive-care, or attendant-care services to hold the applicable Home Health Agency license. A nonmedical personal-care business generally applies to KDHE for the Non-Medical Supportive Care Services license.

It is a Kansas-licensed type of Home Health Agency that provides chore or companionship services and assistance with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, eating, medication reminders, transferring, walking, toileting, and continence care. KDHE notes that these services are mainly private pay, private duty, and some private insurance.

The package supports a Kansas agency applying for Non-Medical Supportive Care Services licensure and preparing to provide chore, companionship, and permitted personal-care assistance. If the business plans to furnish Medicaid HCBS waiver services, it should use the Skilled Services licensure pathway and complete separate Kansas Medicaid and KanCare enrollment requirements.

No. The Non-Medical Supportive Care Services license covers the nonmedical scope described by KDHE. A Skilled Services HHA may furnish skilled medical services and can also encompass HCBS and supportive care. Medicare certification is a separate federal pathway covered by the Kansas Home Health Agency Startup Package.

The applicant submits KDHE's Non-Medical HHA application, authorization-for-release forms, Supportive Care Services attestation, required supporting documents, and the applicable fee. The agency should use the current KDHE instruction guide and verify all submission requirements before filing.

The agency should be ready to document ownership, administrator qualifications, personnel, training and competency, client rights, assessments and service plans, scheduling and visit records, complaints and incidents, emergency practices, supervision, background checks, quality management, billing, payroll, record retention, and confidentiality.

Yes. Kansas HHA personnel screening is governed by K.S.A. 65-5117 and the state's criminal-record-check program. The agency should submit required checks through the designated Kansas process, review prohibited offenses and registry findings, and keep eligibility and screening documentation in personnel records.

Personnel must be qualified and competent for the tasks assigned within the agency's licensed scope and each client's plan of care. The agency should document orientation, job-specific training, competency, supervision, health and screening requirements, and any professional credential needed for a particular role.

KDHE states that HCBS waiver services require a Skilled Services HHA license because they may include medical services driven by a plan of care. An applicant should confirm the exact waiver, service code, KDADS program, licensure, enrollment, and managed-care requirements before advertising or furnishing services.

KDHE requests the annual report, renewal application, Supportive Care Services attestation, supporting documents, and fee. The agency should submit the renewal materials on the current KDHE schedule; K.S.A. 65-5104 addresses the annual report, fee, and potential cancellation for late filing.

No. State licensure does not itself enroll an agency in Kansas Medicaid or contract it with KanCare plans. Medicaid payment depends on separate provider enrollment, any required plan contract and service authorization, eligible members, qualified staff, complete documentation, EVV when applicable, and clean claims.
