Kentucky Home Care Services
All private insurance carriers in Kentucky must offer home health benefits;
however, full home health care coverage may be an optional benefit. Coverage
varies widely. Insurance plans may cover expanded services beyond specific identified
benefits if such services are cost effective and medically appropriate alternatives
to institutional care. Each potential patient should check with his/her insurance
company or with a home health agency to determine how much home health coverage
may be available. Kentucky home health care Medicare-certified programs are
surveyed annually against the Medicare Conditions of Participation.
Also some home health providers participate as a "Kentucky Fair Share Provider"
as part of a voluntary network through which they provide limited services to
individuals who are without financial resources, have no insurance, are not
eligible for Medicaid or Medicare and have non-emergency health care needs.
A physician participating in the Kentucky Physician Care Program may refer someone
to home health through this network. The hotline number for accessing the "Kentucky
Fair Share" Program is 800-633-8100.
