"Strategies to Reimagine Home Care Scheduling" will be held on Tuesday August 5, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. PT.

Dear HCAOA-IN Members,
The Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) has issued Bulletin BT202595, which states that beginning July 1, 2026, all Indiana-based home health agencies (provider type 05) enrolled with IHCP will also be required to enroll as Medicare providers to remain eligible for Medicaid reimbursement. Dear HCAOA-Indiana Members,
The Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) has issued Bulletin BT2025105, outlining new reimbursement requirements for Attendant Care (ATTC) and Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) services, effective July 1, 2025. These changes include passthrough standards and new compliance attestations. Caregiver training requirements for home care agencies will not become law this year.
