Welcome
Kentucky Medicaid has expanded managed care coverage to all areas of the state. This website is intended to assist Medicaid members and providers in finding information about managed care services.
Medicaid contracted with three new managed care organizations (MCOs) to coordinate health care for most Medicaid members, beginning Nov. 1, 2011. Those MCOs are: CoventryCares of Kentucky, Kentucky Spirit Health Plan and WellCare of Kentucky.
Beginning Jan. 1, 2013, four MCOs have also been awarded contracts to provide coverage for the 175,000 Medicaid recipients in Louisville and 15 surrounding counties, also known as Region 3. Those MCOs are: Coventry Cares, Humana, Passport and Wellcare of Kentucky.
