Medicaid provides health coverage to more than one million Kentuckians. Access to affordable health care is vital for individuals and their families to lead
healthy and productive lives. Use the resources on this page to navigate your Medicaid journey.
Federal Law Changes Sample Outreach Notice
Federal law (H.R. 1) requires states to have community engagement requirements for some adults ages 19 to 64 enrolled who qualify for Medicaid based solely on their income. Kentucky Medicaid is sharing this sample notice so members, providers, and the public can see the information that will be sent to households who may be affected.
Medicaid Community Engagement (MACE) Sample Outreach Notice
The sample notice explains who the requirement may apply to, what members may need to do, possible exemptions, and where to get help. Kentucky Medicaid will begin mailing these notices to current members on July, 1, 2026. Members may also receive a text message or an email about the community engagement requirement.
There is no action needed at this time. Members who are required to meet the community engagement requirement will receive additional notices starting 120 days prior to their annual renewal in 2027.
Medicaid Member Toolkit
To help Medicaid members better use their health coverage, DMS created a new member toolkit. The toolkit includes all of the information you need to apply, renew, and use your Medicaid benefits. The toolkit available in English and Spanish (Espanol) with more languages coming soon!
