Doing More: RCIL and FMS

Posted August 2, 2011 by Mandy Smith in


There are lots of changes taking place within our state and Home and Community Based Services are not immune. One of the major areas of change is Payroll Services. RCIL is a current Payroll provider for HCBS Waivers; on November 1st, those Payroll services will become Financial Management Services (FMS) and RCIL is ready to hit the ground running as an FMS provider.

We have been preparing for this implementation throughout the last year and are ready to take on the new challenges it brings. RCIL is dedicated to providing the highest quality customer service. Within FMS, payroll agencies will be required to provide Information and Assistance to self directing individuals. This is something that RCIL has been providing all along and we will continue to provide training and resources to assist you in living independently, including the personal care attendant hiring process, and more.

For more information about Self Directing your Home and Community Based Services and FMS Implementation please visit the Kansas Self Direction site. If you’d like to learn more about the Payroll services RCIL offers, including FMS information, please contact Susan Warner, Director of Payroll Services at 1-800-580-7245 or by email at info@rcilinc.org.
