KANSAS · CARE PROGRAM

Self-Directed HCBS (FMS providers and direct support workers)

Personal care and other direct support workers hired by participants who self-direct, paid through an FMS provider. The checks are the same, but only an OIG exclusion bars hiring: a participant may hire past any other finding after reviewing it and filing an attestation with the FMS provider and MCO.

Expected checks

Standard practice, or implied by a provider's enrollment duties; no rule names them outright

None for this program.

Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Motor vehicle record check through the Kansas Department of Revenue for workers who transport the participant (KDADS HCBS Background Check Policy I.D.3)
  • A participant hiring someone with a prohibited result must get the KBI record from the applicant, document a risk assessment and give the FMS provider and MCO a signed attestation (KDADS HCBS Background Check Policy II.D)
  • KDADS-approved skill training (KMAP HCBS PD manual, Personal Care Services provider requirements)

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry blocks automated access
The registry's website turns away automated lookups. We don't work around that, so for now your staff search it themselves.
The registry's terms forbid automated searches
The registry's terms, or the law behind it, rule out automated or third-party searches, so ezOIG doesn't run them.
Requires an employer account
Searches go through the employer's own account with the agency, so ezOIG doesn't run them for you.
Checked by request to the agency
The agency answers a written request or form rather than an online search.
