Kentucky Health Care Partnership Program

The Kentucky Health Care Partnership is a sub-state demonstration that uses a single managed care plan model, including public and private providers, to deliver health care. The Partnership is a private non-profit entity that provides services for Medicaid beneficiaries in the city of Louisville in Jefferson County and the fifteen surrounding counties. All non-institutionalized Medicaid beneficiaries are enrolled in the demonstration. Beneficiaries receive a comprehensive benefit package that corresponds to benefits and services available under the Medicaid State plan. Any willing provider may participate in the Partnership plan. The primary objective of the demonstration is to improve access to health care and needed services for beneficiaries, and to test the feasibility of providing services through a single managed care entity.
