Administrative functions of the Medicaid program and the Kentucky Children's Health Insurance program (KCHIP) include determining applicant eligibility, formulating policy, processing claims, assuring appropriate utilization of medical services, and managed care oversight. For the fee for service elements of the program, claims are paid through contracts with a fiscal agent and a pharmacy benefits administrator. For the managed care elements of the program, a monthly capitation fee for each member is paid. The Medicaid program contracts for medical review of acute care admissions, level of care determinations for long-term care patients, and care reviews for recipients in mental hospitals and psychiatric facilities.

The Department for Community Based Services performs the eligibility determination function on behalf of the Department for Medicaid Services through a contractual arrangement. The Department for Medicaid Services also administers KCHIP, a program to provide health care services for uninsured children with family incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level but above the federal income level for the Medicaid Program.
