Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear is part of a group of Democrats who argue the Affordable Care Act is legal and should stay as-is.

A state law passed in 2018 allows some patients to stay in their home and have a doctor’s visit using a special medical video platform.

Even though most of Gov. Matt Bevin’s proposed changes to Kentucky’s Medicaid system are still locked in a court battle, treatment for drug addiction will be expanded.

Virginia-based Evolent Health will purchase a 70 percent stake in Passport Health. Current CEO Mark Carter will step down in early June.

Gov. Matt Bevin has said he would roll back the expansion of Medicaid altogether if he doesn’t get a work requirement policy.

Democrat Andy Beshear says he would repeal Republican Gov. Matt Bevin's efforts to revamp Kentucky's Medicaid program if he's elected governor.

During a news conference Monday, Democratic politicians slammed the state for allegedly treating Passport unfairly in setting Medicaid reimbursement rates.

The Medicaid insurance company is currently suing the state over lowered Medicaid reimbursement rates set last year.

The state began requiring copays from some enrollees for prescriptions and doctor visits in January. Advocates say those who should be exempt have been asked to pay.

A new report from the Ky. Cabinet for Health and Family Services says there needs to be more oversight of companies that administer Medicaid prescriptions.
