Despite our best efforts, Kentucky River Medical Center and WellCare were unable to reach an agreement. As of September 15, 2026, KRMC and associated clinics are out of network with WellCare.
We understand this news is difficult. We don’t want you to have to travel outside Breathitt County for care—and you don’t have to. For help with your Medicaid plan, contact Kynect Health coverage (855-4kynect)1-855-459-6328 or Kynect’s website: https://www.kynect.ky.gov/s/?language=en_US
If you have an emergency, we will always care for you, even if you cannot pay.
