Coventry Cares had terminated two of its contracts with KentuckyOne Health, including one with Our Lady of Peace, which provides specialized services for high risk patients in Louisville.

"KentuckyOne Leadership very strongly believes that Medicaid recipients in he Commonwealth should have access to quality health care via a comprehensive network of provider and community organizations," she said.
