Get Help Funding A Device

Once you know the device that meets your needs, it's important to consider possible funding options. ATK staff will work with you to review public and private funding resources, identify the ones most likely to fit your situation, and assist you in completing applications and submitting required funding documentation. ATK has experience working with a variety of public and private funding sources such as Kansas Rehabilitation Services, Kansas Medicaid, Infant Toddler Services, public education, Medicare, Veterans Affairs, private health insurance, Rural Housing Grants, Friends of Man, etc.

ATK also works with the Kansas AT Cooperative (KATCO). KATCO offers flexible preferred rate financial loans for assistive technology devices and services. A KATCO loan may be used to pay for part or all of the cost of the assistive technology you need.

Gaye Calhoon, Information and Referral Specialist, explains funding options in this video, Funding Q and A.

To request funding assistance, call 800 KAN DO IT (800-526-3648) or email your regional AT Access Site.

Get A Used Device

ATK provides quality used devices through two efforts. KEE is a reuse partnership between Kansas Health Policy Authority and ATK. Through KEE, eligible Kansans can get quality, refurbished durable medical equipment such as manual and power wheelchairs, patient lifts, electronic hospital beds, shower chairs, communication devices and other health devices.

ATK accepts donations of durable medical equipment for KEE but other assistive technology devices can be donated to the ATK reuse program. ATKpartners with local and regional loan closets across the state to help Kansans with disabilities access a wide range of equipment.

If you have equipment you no longer need, please donate it so others may benefit. If you need used equipment, you may view the inventory by selecting the ATK/KEE Available Equipment link below. Equipment is reassigned on a first come - first serve basis. If you can't find the device you're need, contact your regional AT Access Site to get on the waiting list or to see if other options are available.
