Questions, answered simply.
Is there a cost for case management?
For many people, case management is covered by Kansas Medicaid at no direct cost. MHASCK also offers sliding scale fees where they apply. When you reach out, our team will help you understand eligibility and any cost for your situation before services begin.
What is CPST?
CPST stands for Community Psychiatric Support and Treatment. It is practical help delivered in your daily life, where a worker helps you manage symptoms, build skills, coordinate care, and connect to resources. Unlike office-only services, CPST meets you in the community so support fits your real circumstances.
How do I qualify?
Eligibility depends on your situation and often on Medicaid coverage and level of need. The easiest way to find out is to reach out. Our team will ask a few questions and tell you clearly whether you qualify and how to get started, with no obligation.
Can I switch case managers?
Yes. A trusting relationship with your case manager matters, and if the fit is not right, you can ask for a change. Just let us know. Keeping you engaged and well supported is more important to us than any single assignment.
Do you accept Medicaid?
Yes. MHASCK accepts Kansas Medicaid, and many case management and community support services are covered through it. We also offer sliding scale fees where they apply. Our team will walk you through coverage and cost for your situation before you begin.
Can a family member help set this up?
Yes. Family members often help a loved one get connected, and we welcome that. With the person’s permission, we can involve family in setting up and planning services, while always respecting the adult’s choices, privacy, and right to direct their own care.
What does a case manager do?
A case manager is your steady partner in navigating life with a mental health condition. They coordinate your care, connect you to resources like housing and benefits, help you build skills, and support you through hard patches. Think of them as a knowledgeable guide and advocate on your side.
What if I am transitioning out of the hospital or shelter?
We can help. Transitions are a common time for support to break down, so a case manager helps bridge the gap, connecting you with care, housing, and resources so you land safely. Reach out and we will help coordinate your next steps right away.
How often will I see my case manager?
It depends on your needs and goals. Some people meet with a case manager often during a hard season, while others check in less as they stabilize. You and your case manager decide together, and the plan flexes as your situation changes over time.
How do I start?
