Operative words
1. ALL non-emergent, non-urgent in-person medical, surgical, dental, and any other healthcare practice or procedure must have immediately ceased effective close of business on March 18, 2020. 2. The Commonwealth of Kentucky relies upon licensed healthcare professionals within the state to exercise their best clinical judgment in the implementation of this restriction... c. Non-Urgent - Any healthcare service that, were it not provided, is unlikely to result in any serious and/or irreparable harm to a patient if not provided for more than 30 days. (For example, chiropractic medicine.)... 5. Under all circumstances where clinically possible, use of telephonic or video communication to provide telemedicine services is strongly urged... All healthcare providers are instructed to follow these recommendations when considering what procedures to cancel. This directive became effective at midnight March 18, 2020
Enforcement
Notes
The broadest office-visit clause in any State: every non-urgent in-person healthcare practice, expressly including chiropractic.
