Western Baptist participating with new Medicaid companies

Western Baptist Hospital is participating with all three of the new managed Medicaid companies.

The Kentucky Medicaid program initiated a new approach on Nov. 1, assigning most members to one of three different companies for the management of their benefits -- Kentucky Spirit, CoventryCares and WellCare. Because of the size of the project and the vast numbers of providers, current provider directories are incomplete. However, even if it not listed, Western Baptist is participating with all three companies.

Western Baptist encourages Medicaid users to contact their assigned company for physician participants because many participating physicians are also awaiting inclusion in online and printed directories.
