This bill would require Kentucky's Medicaid program to cover adult day health care and in-home attendant care services for adults enrolled in certain Medicaid waiver programs. It sets a minimum of 40 hours per week for each type of service and prohibits the state from combining those two coverage limits into a single shared cap.
