- Licensed to operate in Kentucky by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Division of Health Care.
- Enrolled as a Kentucky Medicaid provider
Covered Services
ADHC services are provided on site at a center where individuals 21 and older receive skilled nursing care, routine personal care and health care, meals and are part of daily activities.
An ADHC service provider must meet the requirements of 907 KAR 7:010. Services must be performed in the scope of practice for any provider. Listing of services in an administrative regulation is not a guarantee of payment. Providers must follow all relevant state Medicaid regulations. All services must be medically necessary.

Claims Submission

Coding
