About this file
This document is a Kentucky Corrections Policy and Procedures directive (501 KAR 6:400, Policy Number 13.1) establishing pharmacy policy and formulary requirements for the Kentucky Department of Corrections, effective February 4, 2025. The policy mandates that pharmaceutical services conform to federal and state statutes and be integrated within the corrections health care delivery system. Medical staff must have access to a pharmaceutical formulary and the services of a pharmacy consultant. The policy establishes procedures for non-formulary medication requests, requiring medical providers to submit written or electronic justifications to the Office of the Medical Director or designee for review, with provisions for verbal approval from the Central Office Medical Duty Officer in emergency situations.
The policy establishes inmate co-pay requirements as follows: inmates shall not be charged for formulary medications or non-formulary psychiatric medications; however, inmates shall be assessed a $3.00 co-pay for each non-formulary prescription and subsequent refills, except for those classified as indigent as defined in CPP 15.7. This policy supersedes the previous version effective July 31, 2015, and is authorized under KRS 196.035 and 197.020, with cross-references to CPP 15.7, ACA 4-4378, and 2-CO-1E-01.
