Section 3 / Part 4
Effective Date: April 10, 2006
Service codes and related information
The counselor is responsible for the entry of accurate and consistent
service codes and descriptions of the services on Kansas Management Information
System (KMIS). When entering Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE)
services on KMIS, the counselor must enter a brief description or the
system will enter the generic description assigned to that code. In either
case, the description needs to be specific enough for the client and others
to clearly understand what is being provided.
In addition, service codes are used to organize the variety of services
provided by RS into groups required for federal reporting. RS creates
additional codes to enable reasonable analysis of case service expenditures
and to supply specific service related information to the Kansas Legislature,
Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS), disability
advocacy groups and others.
Use of a service code does not mean that RS will automatically pay for
the service. Some services are provided through comparable benefits or
at no cost. In some situations, such as the Payment-for-Performance Placement
Model, the service code may only be used with contracted providers.
The following is a brief description of the service code groups and examples
of services for each code. Numerical and alphabetical lists of service
examples and codes are provided in subsequent sections of this manual.
Also, see Section 11 for service codes and service descriptions for contracted
services.
