Primary care clinics added to Ky. Health Cooperative’s network

The Kentucky Primary Care Association, a nonprofit charitable organization that promotes access to comprehensive primary health care services for the under-served,
has been added to the Kentucky Health Cooperative’s provider network. This will significantly increase prospective members’ access to clinical
providers, according to a press release from the co-op.

Physicians in member clinics will be added to the provider
lists maintained by the co-op and Kynect, the state’s online health-insurance marketplace, in the coming
weeks.

The Kentucky Health Cooperative is a new, private, non-profit, consumer-governed health insurance company and is available through enrollment on Kynect. Its coverage begins as early as Jan. 1.

“We are pleased to add the Kentucky Primary Care Association’s physicians to our growing provider network,” said Janie Miller, the co-op’s chief executive officer. “This is a partnership between like-minded organizations that will potentially benefit tens of thousands of Kentuckians.”

Kynect allows consumers to compare and select insurance plans. Consumers can also determine if they qualify for premium payment assistance, special discounts or tax credits to help decrease the cost of services.
