Lexington Medical Center will fully comply with the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services COVID-19 vaccination mandate for healthcare workers.

All non-LMC (Lexington Medical Center) staff, including, but not limited to; vendor/sales representatives, delivery personnel, contractors, independent medical staff, agency staff, and any other non-LMC representatives who have business or provide patient care, either under contract or other arrangements, at any Lexington Medical Center facility must be fully vaccinated or have met their organization’s COVID-19 vaccination exemption process, in accordance with CMS standards and federal law, before entering any Lexington Medical Center facility or practice location.

View the full policy.

Lexington Medical Center’s Department of Public Safety will issue newly designed LMC ID badges to all non-LMC staff after they submit the required vaccination documentation or an acceptable exemption letter.

All non-LMC staff are required to have a new LMC ID badge to enter any LMC facility.

Steps to obtain a new non-LMC staff badge:

  1. LMC Directors and Managers will submit a list of authorized non-LMC staff, approving them to obtain the new LMC ID badge.
  2. Once non-LMC staff are fully vaccinated or have received an exemption from their employer, they must email the following information to vendorbadge@lexhealth.org:
    1. LEGIBLE copy of your proof of vaccination; or
    2. Signed letter from their employer’s President/CEO/designee attesting to their exemption status. The attestation letter must include the non-LMC staff member’s legal name as it appears on their valid identification. The attestation letter template is included in the policy.
  3. Non-LMC staff members will be notified within 1 to 2 business if there are errors or concerns regarding their submission. After two business days from successful e-mail submission, non-LMC staff members should go to Lexington Medical Center’s Department of Public Safety to have a photo taken and complete the process to obtain their new LMC ID badge.
