How do I pay for treatment?
DCCCA treatment programs are approved providers for Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas, Cenpatico, Preferred Mental Health Management, and a variety of other insurance companies. Kansas residents whose income is less than 200% of the federal poverty level may have their treatment fully reimbursed through federal and state grant dollars. Individual payment arrangements may also be made using a sliding fee scale based on income.

How do I qualify for Medicaid/AAPS funding?
Those whose treatment is reimbursed by Medicaid, state general funds, or federal block grant dollars must meet state and federal eligibility requirements. These individuals must provide proof of United States and Kansas residency, and that their income is 200% of the federal poverty level, or lower. back to top
