Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Louisville, KY
Partial Hospitalization (PHP) is a structured daytime treatment program for patients who need more intensive care than traditional outpatient but do not require 24/7 supervision.

Kentucky Medicaid plans typically cover PHP (ASAM 2.5) based on medical-necessity determination. PHP admissions are generally handled through notification and concurrent review rather than lengthy pre-authorization.
