The Kentucky House is reviewing legislation standardizing Medicaid coverage for at-home medical testing for patients on blood thinners. The measure is sponsored by Richmond GOP Representative Deanna Frazier Gordon and won committee approval last week. Frazier Gordon said some patients on anticoagulants face lab and provider barriers.
“The results are transmitted to the lab to the physician where it’s read and that way adjustments can be made, if necessary. But, it’s just cost savings and time savings measure,” said Frazier Gordon.
