\nKentucky hospitals are getting millions of dollars in reimbursement funds for expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
Governor Andy Beshear announced Friday more than $105 million in FEMA reimbursements for COVID-19 response will be given to six Kentucky hospitals, including two in Louisville.<\/p>\n
UofL Health is being reimbursed more than $13 million, and Baptist Health will get more than $17 million.<\/p>\n
The funding covers pandemic expenses like personal protective equipment (PPE), staffing, testing and patient care from 2020 through 2023.<\/p>\n
Beshear said the money comes at a critical time as hospitals face financial pressure from potential federal Medicaid cuts.<\/p>\n
Leaders at UofL Health said the reimbursement helps close the chapter on the pandemic and strengthens healthcare services.
