Choices Network

What Choices Network does

Choices Network is a private, for-profit human services organization headquartered in Salina, Kansas, that supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) across the state of Kansas. The company delivers services through five integrated pillars: Targeted Case Management (TCM), Financial Management Services (FMS), Self-Direction Services, Day & Residential Services, and Direct Support Worker Services. Its TCM practice is led by clinically credentialed staff, while FMS positions the company as the employer-of-record for personal caregivers hired by self-directing waiver participants.

The business model is fee-for-service reimbursement under Kansas Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers (the IDD waiver and the Technology Assistance / TA waiver), with claims routed through three contracted Kansas managed care organizations: United Health Care, Aetna, and Sunflower Health Plan. Participants are typically referred through Kansas Community Developmental Disability Organizations (CDDOs), and there is no pricing transparency, consumer-direct billing, or out-of-pocket component disclosed in the source material. The company is co-owned by four Vice Presidents (Brenda Cook, Mandie Cain, Andrea Swenson, and Kenna Boyce), with no disclosed external investors, debt, or M&A activity.

Operationally, Choices Network runs with 11-50 employees on a community-based delivery model centered on direct in-person support rather than a software or technology platform. Infrastructure consists of standard electronic documentation for compliance and a public website; there is no proprietary technology, data product, or AI component described. Growth is being pursued through deeper penetration of the existing Kansas HCBS market, including active recruitment of Direct Support Workers as of October 2025, with no evidence of geographic expansion, new verticals, or capital-raising events.
