Kentucky care-setting mix

How Kentucky's 506 listings split by care setting

Exclusive outpatient / residential partition for this listing's state peers. Orthogonal to the inventory≠MAT dual above and to this facility's own service list (service rows can overlap; these buckets cannot).

Sparse-record desk: HealthFirst Bluegrass

Signature: Medicaid flagged. HealthFirst Bluegrass is a sparse N-SUMHSS sheet (22 attrs; below 30). Treat missing MAT/Medicaid/modality rows as unreported, not proven absent; confirm by phone before travel.

What is present: outpatient, telehealth; Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, a sliding-fee scale, payment assistance. What is thin: many SAMHSA fields blank on this vintage. HealthFirst Bluegrass's SAMHSA record documents fewer attributes (22) than the typical Kentucky facility (state median: 35, out of 506 listed statewide). That is common for smaller or newly-surveyed programs and does not mean fewer services are actually offered, it means fewer were self-reported to SAMHSA. Call the facility directly to confirm services not shown here.
