Thank you for your interest in becoming a KY Medicaid Provider. Enrollment in the program is not guaranteed; therefore, providing services to Kentucky Medicaid members prior to your effective date is at your own financial risk.

The Department for Medicaid Services (DMS) only contracts with providers or entities qualified under 907 KAR 1:671 and 907 KAR 1:672 and approved by DMS to participate. DMS reserves the right to approve or reject a contract with any prospective provider.

Notice: Pursuant to 907 KAR 1:672 Section 2 1(c)(1), you must be enrolled as a participating provider prior to being eligible to receive reimbursement.
