During the COVID-19 State of Emergency, individuals under the age of 65 who do not have medical insurance that pays for doctors, pharmacy, and hospital visits should complete this application to request Presumptive Eligibility under the Kentucky Medicaid program. By completing this application, you are attesting to the fact that you do not have medical insurance that covers doctors, pharmacy or hospital visits.
Presumptive Eligibility coverage is temporary. To maintain Medicaid benefits, individuals are encouraged to complete a full Medicaid application before their Presumptive Eligibility coverage ends.
