On July 10, 2020, the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) issued guidance to health care facilities clarifying that the lab result is the source document for billing start/stop dates. Billing starts when the positive test result is received and continues until the COVID-19 resident is released from isolation (i.e., considered recovered) based on negative lab results. EXAMPLE: Test results are available on a Friday night, but not pulled until Saturday morning, so Friday would be billable if COVID-level care was provided through that day.
