Lake Cumberland District Health Department

A healthy today for a brighter tomorrow.

Ryan White Part B Care Coordination Program

The Lake Cumberland District Health Department offers medical and social support services, referrals, and guidance for HIV-positive patients living in Central and Eastern Kentucky.  Case management services are available through the Ryan White Part B Care Coordination Program.  Care Coordinators serve as medical case managers that facilitate patient care by helping patients participate in HIV treatment without any barriers to care.

The level or amount of case management is based on an evaluation of a person’s needs at any given time and can include:

  • Short-term counseling
  • Help in finding doctors/dentists
  • Support groups
  • Education about living with HIV/AIDS
 

The overall intent of case management is to provide clients with a range of care using existing community services to the greatest degree possible. The goal is to help clients be as self-sufficient as possible.

Program Eligibility

  • Medical documentation of positive HIV status
  • Household income at or below 500% federal poverty level
  • Resident of Kentucky
  • Proof of income
 

Enrollment in the Care Coordination Program requires an annual certification to verify current income, residency status, insurance status, and eligibility in the program.

Financial assistance is based on household income and size.  If you are at or below 500% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, you may be eligible for financial assistance with medical, dental and mental health needs, medications, health insurance premiums and transportation.
