- 10.16.2026 - Effective October 1, 2026, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Kentucky is implementing a revised reimbursement methodology for Kentucky Medicaid inpatient hospital claims, as directed by the Kentucky Department for Medicaid Services (DMS). Inpatient claims will be reimbursed using a “lesser-of” methodology, meaning payment will be limited to the lesser of the calculated Medicaid reimbursement amount or the provider’s billed charges. This applies only to inpatient hospital claims reimbursed under either Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) or per diem payment methodologies. No action is required from providers at this time. Providers should ensure submitted charges accurately reflect services rendered since billed charges will be considered when determining final reimbursement. Questions may be directed to your UnitedHealthcare Provider Services representative.
