Kentucky SB173 enhances legislative oversight of the Medicaid and KCHIP state plans, ensuring they meet federal requirements and serve intended.

Kentucky SB173 establishes a framework for annual legislative review of the Medicaid and KCHIP state plans. The Department for Medicaid Services must submit copies of these plans and any state plan amendments to the Legislative Research Commission by July each year. The Interim Joint Committee on Health Services and the Medicaid Oversight and Advisory Board review these plans and amendments, providing recommendations or approvals. If the committee finds a plan deficient, it must notify the Governor, the secretary of the cabinet, and the department commissioner.
