Fees
DCCCA has an established fee structure for services provided within its treatment programs. Fees are intended to cover the cost of services and, when appropriate, offer customers an opportunity to assume some financial responsibility for their treatment. Fees vary by treatment service level. Service level is determined during the customer’s comprehensive assessment, which identifies the least restrictive, medically necessary treatment to meet his or her unique needs. DCCCA’s Informed Consent, signed by the customer, acknowledges his or her agreement to participate in treatment, and to pay a portion of his or her treatment. Program fees are not intended to create a financial barrier to accessing treatment.
Program fees are determined during the initial assessment appointment and are based on a customer’s income and/or third party payor requirements. For a customer whose assessment was completed with another entity and referred to DCCCA for treatment, fees are determined during the initial intake appointment. The Fee Agreement must be signed by both the customer and DCCCA staff prior to program admission.
Payment Options
Insurance – DCCCA treatment services are reimbursed by many insurance companies and other third party payers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Preferred Mental Health Management, and Cenpatico. Program staff will verify a customer’s third party benefits to determine if the insurance company will reimburse for services, and obtain any necessary prior authorization. An individualized case agreement may be requested if DCCCA is an out of network provider. The customer is responsible for all co-pays and deductibles.
Medicaid – Customers with a valid Title 19 Kansas Medicaid card may have their treatment paid for by Medicaid. Services must be pre-authorized and approved by Value Options. Co-pays are not charged for Medicaid funded customers.
AAPS Funded – Customers with income less than 200% of the federal poverty level may have their treatment paid for using SRS/AAPS funding, as allocated in DCCCA’s annual contract. AAPS services must be pre-authorized and approved by Value Options.
Private Pay – Customers may choose to pay out of pocket for treatment if their insurance benefits do not reimburse for DCCCA services, they do not have insurance, and/or do not meet eligibility requirements for SRS/AAPS or Medicaid funding. Customers may pay by cash, cashier’s check, personal check or credit card.

DCCCA Fee Policies
Required Documents – Customers must bring proof of income, including his or her insurance card, to the initial appointment in order to determine the appropriate fees. Customers who may be eligible for SRS/AAPS funding must also provide proof of Kansas residency.
Refusal to Utilize Third Party Benefits – Customers who have insurance coverage that will reimburse for DCCCA treatment, but choose not to access those benefits, will be charged the full fee for service.
Room and Board – Customers needing supportive housing while in Intensive Outpatient or Partial Day Treatment will be charged a daily room and board fee if allowed by the customer’s primary payer.
Fee Payments – Fee payments, as documented and agreed to on the Fee Agreement, are due at the time of service.
Failure to Pay – Continued failure to pay agreed upon fees may result in the customer being discharged from treatment. The customer’s collateral service professionals (RADAC, probation officer, etc.) may be engaged to help problem solve the failure to pay, up to and including a modification of the Fee Agreement based on a changed income status. The decision to discharge a customer based on failure to pay fees can only be made by the Program Director after all attempts to resolve the challenge have not been successful.
