Medicaid Update - ADHC and ADT Reopening Information

Beginning Monday, June 29, 2020, adult day health care (ADHC) and adult day training (ADT) providers can resume in-person services. The Cabinet for Health and Family Services developed guidance ADHCs and ADTs should follow when reopening. The guidance for ADHC is available at https://chfs.ky.gov/cv19/AdultDayHealth.pdf and the guidance for ADT is available at https://chfs.ky.gov/cv19/ADHCTrainingGuidance.pdf. 

The Department for Medicaid Services (DMS) developed resources for ADHCs and ADTs providing services to 1915(c) Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver participants. DMS also created a document to explain what participants should know before returning to ADHC or ADT.

We have updated several questions about ADHC, ADT, and residential services based on the June 29, 2020, reopening date. We have also added several questions on a variety of topics. All questions have a "Date Added" or a "Revised" date on them. New questions have also been highlighted in yellow and revised questions highlighted in green in both the "Contents" section and the body of the FAQ to help you identify what has been updated. 

You can find all COVID-19 waiver-related guidance on the DMS Division of Community Alternatives website at https://bit.ly/kyhcbswaiverinfo. If you have questions, please contact DMS at (844) 784-5614 or [email protected].
