Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no additional license or
certificate otherwise required under the provisions of KRS Chapters 211, 216, 311,
312, or 314 shall be necessary for the voluntary provision of health care services by
any person who:
(a) Is a charitable health care provider as defined in KRS 216.940; or
(b) Does not regularly practice in the Commonwealth.
No person whose license or certificate is suspended or revoked under disciplinary
proceedings in any jurisdiction, nor any person who renders services outside of the
scope of practice authorized by his or her licensure or certification or exception to
license or certification shall be allowed to participate with any sponsoring
organization as a charitable health care provider.
Before providing charitable health care services in this state, a charitable health care
provider or sponsoring organization shall register with the Cabinet for Health and
Family Services by filing a registration form that shall contain the following
information:
(a) The name, address, and phone number of the charitable health care provider;
(b) Written and verifiable documentation of a current Kentucky license including,
if applicable, a license granted to an individual under a reciprocal agreement
with another state or country;
(c) The name, principal office address, phone number, and principal officer of any
sponsoring organization;
(d) The dates, locations, types of services, and intended recipients of any
charitable health care services to be performed in the state;
(e) Information as to any medical malpractice insurance procured under KRS
304.40-075 or otherwise; and
(f) Other information as the cabinet may require by administrative regulation.
The cabinet shall provide, upon request of the charitable health care provider or
sponsoring organization, any information available as to declared emergencies,
underserved populations, and lack of access to health care in the state that will assist
the charitable health care provider or sponsoring organization in the provision of
these services.
Boards of health created under KRS Chapter 212 may submit requests for charitable
health care providers in their jurisdictions to be listed in any information provided.
Each sponsoring organization shall maintain a list of health care providers
associated with its provision of charitable health care services. For each health care
provider, the sponsoring organization shall maintain a copy of a current license,
certificate, or statement of exemption from licensure or certification and shall
require each health care provider to attest in writing that his or her license or
certificate is not suspended or revoked under disciplinary proceedings in any
jurisdiction. The sponsoring organization shall maintain its records of charitable

health care providers for at least five (5) years after the provision of charitable
health care services, including actual dates, types of services, and recipients of
charitable health care services, and shall furnish these records upon the request of
the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Compliance with this section shall be
prima facie evidence that the sponsoring organization has exercised due care in
selecting charitable health care providers.
The cabinet may revoke the registration of any charitable health care provider or
sponsoring organization for failure to comply with the provisions of KRS 216.940
to 216.945, in accordance with the provisions of KRS Chapter 13B.
The cabinet shall report to the General Assembly the name and location of
individuals registered with the cabinet as charitable health care providers, by
October 1 of each year.
