Gov. Andy Beshear (D) declared a state of emergency due to the severe storms that swept through the Commonwealth on February 14. In response, Medicaid has activated NCPDP procedures for pharmacies to override certain denials for members impacted by the storms. Gov. Beshear also activated the state’s emergency operations center and implemented the state’s price gouging laws to protect Kentuckians from overpriced goods and services as they recover from the storm.
