Court hands Bevin victory on Executive Reorganization Power Frankfort, KY - On June 13, 2019, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Gov. Matt Bevin's executive power to reorganize boards and commissions. In affirming the Franklin Circuit Court ruling, the court said, "In sum, on the facts before us, neither KRS 12.028 nor EO 2017-364 constitutes an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power. Nor did the Governor's reorganization of the Education Professional Standards Board, besides the Governor's restructuring of its appeal process, constitute an unconstitutional infringement on the judiciary's power because the temporary reorganization of this board does not impute the judicial power in any way."

Medicaid waiver to expand coverage for Substance Use Disorder A provider webinar is scheduled for Monday, June 17, 2019 at NoonCT/1pmET. By Christina Dettman/Jordan Rowe Frankfort, KY - The Commonwealth of Kentucky is set to expand access to treatment and recovery services for individuals with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) through a portion of its 1115 Medicaid demonstration waiver, beginning July 1. This program further amplifies the Commonwealth's overall efforts to fight the opioid crisis, as well as other substance addictions. With Kentucky's commitment to combatting opioid, alcohol, and other substance dependencies in mind, the Department for Medicaid Services is implementing a new standard of care for substance use treatment through the expanded services. These new standards will enhance coverage and increase access to care for Kentuckians seeking recovery from SUD. "Implementation of this SUD waiver will increase and improve services to those fighting with addiction," said Carol Steckel, Commissioner of the Department of Medicaid Services. "Giving extra support impacts quality of life for the entire family." Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2019-06-17 05:42:46 | Comments | Printable version
