kynect Program

Helping People. Changing Lives.

LCCAA provides kynectors in the 10 county Lake Cumberland Region including: Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, McCreary, Pulaski, Russell, Taylor and Wayne County. The overall goal of the kynect Program is to provide assistance about insurance affordability programs and coverage options so that kynectors can educate and assist Kentuckians with making informed decisions when selecting a health plan and enrolling in plans.

Our kynectors assist individuals with the application and enrollment process including re-enrollments, Qualified Health Plans, Medicaid or Kentucky Children’s Health Insurance Program (KCHIP).  kynectors also submit applications for SNAP and CCAP using kynect Benefits on behalf of Kentuckians and help to facilitate the collection and upload of needed documents. 

Services of the kynector Program include:
  1. Enrollment – assist individuals, families, and small businesses with enrollment in qualified health plans and insurance affordability programs.
  2. Outreach – inform the public about Exchange and health insurance options and insurance affordability programs.
  3. Education – provide information to individuals and small businesses regarding health insurance, Insurance affordability programs, and QHP selection.
