The Department for Community Based Services and the Department for Medicaid
Services shall not reimburse an out-of-state provider of residential care for children
whose care is paid by state general funds or state administered federal funds unless
the Department for Medicaid Services or the Department for Community Based
Services or a designated agent thereof has determined that there is no provider
within the Commonwealth that is capable and willing to provide comparable
services at a comparable cost per child to those that would be delivered by the outof-state provider. An exception may be made if:
(a) The identified in-state resource is farther away from the child's parent or
guardian than a similar out-of-state resource; or
(b) The services offered by the out-of-state resource is deemed by either
department or a designated agent thereof to be more appropriate for the
individual child than the services offered by the in-state provider.
Prior to promulgating administrative regulations governing the determination of the
availability of providers of residential care within the Commonwealth, the
Department for Medicaid Services and the Department for Community Based
Services shall establish uniform conditions, requirements, and exceptions for the
determination of the availability of providers of residential care within the
Commonwealth.
Each department shall promulgate an administrative regulation in accordance with
KRS Chapter 13A that contains the uniform conditions, requirements, and
exceptions for the determination of the availability of providers of residential care
within the Commonwealth established under subsection (2) of this section.
