What the Kentucky Medicaid Notebook is, who made it, and what it can and cannot do for you.
Dr. KYMN (Kentucky Medicaid Notebook) is a plain-language guide to Kentucky Medicaid and KCHIP. It summarizes eligibility rules, the application process, renewals, and related programs in plain English — short pages, no jargon. It is not an official government website.
This site was made by Sleeping Bear Labs, a small software studio in Lexington, Kentucky. It is an independent project and is not affiliated with the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, DCBS, KHBE, or any other government agency.
Content is drawn from Kentucky’s official sources, including:
When in doubt, always verify with the official source.
This site provides general information only. It is not legal advice, medical advice, or an official eligibility determination. Rules change — information here may become outdated. For decisions that affect your coverage, always confirm details directly with kynect or your local DCBS office.
Content is reviewed at least annually, typically after the federal poverty guidelines are updated each January. Page-level “Last updated” dates reflect the most recent content review for that page.
