An Institutional Transition moves residents of qualified institutional settings into the community. This process identifies individuals who have expressed their desire to return to the community and provides them with community supports to aid them in maintaining residence in the least restrictive setting of their choice. Institutional Transitions are available if you are eligible for the Frail Elderly (FE), Physical Disability (PD), Brain Injury (BI), or Intellectual/ Developmental Disability (IDD) waiver. Individuals completing an Institutional Transition to a waiver with a current waiting list can bypass the waiver waitlist.
To be eligible for an Institutional Transition to an HCBS waiver, you must meet the following criteria:
To apply for an institutional transition and have Medicaid with an assigned Managed Care Organization (MCO), contact your assigned MCO. If you do not have Medicaid, please complete a Medicaid application online at www.applyforkancare.ks.gov or by calling 1-800-792-4884. Once you have your MCO assignment, based on your choice, visit with your assigned Care Coordinator to initiate the Institutional Transition process.
