Description
The Bluegrass Care Clinic (BCC) at the University of Kentucky seeks to facilitate the provision
of quality care and services to people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) by continuing to
provide medical case management and care coordination services in 32 counties identified in this
solicitation as the Lexington Region for the Kentucky HIV/AIDS Care Coordination Program.
The Ryan White Part B (RWB) Care Coordination program at the BCC currently facilitates
medical and social support services for HIV positive patients living in central and eastern
Kentucky and offers a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to promote self-sufficiency and
medical treatment success. HIV Care Coordinators (HIV CCs) at the BCC serve as medical case
managers that facilitate patient care by ensuring patients are able to participate in HIV treatment
without barriers and that the social determinants of health are examined and addressed as
important factors in medical treatment. The HIV CCs assist patients in applying for any eligible
benefits (i.e. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and ACA Exchange Based Insurance) and
coordinates enrollment in Kentucky AIDS Drug Assistance Program (KADAP) and the
Kentucky Health Insurance Continuation Program (KHICP) to facilitate health insurance
premium assistance. Additionally, the HIV CCs serve as gatekeepers for a variety of core
medical and support services, such as: outpatient/ambulatory medical care, emergency
medications (non-KADAP formulary medications or pending insurance/patient assistance
program approval); mental health counseling and substance abuse services; transportation
assistance to medical appointment (gas cards, WHEELs/cab vouchers & bus tokens βin amounts
relative to time/distance travelled); medical nutrition therapy (i.e. Ensure, Scandishake); and
other medical necessities such as durable medical equipment, glasses and medical supplies, etc.
This application proposes that the BCC continue to provide care coordination and medical case
management services to PLWHA in the Lexington region.
