Family caregivers of medically complex children will soon no longer be able to provide attendant care, meaning they have to transition to other Medicaid programs. The Family and Social Services Administration provided updates this week on one of the main programs families can shift to in July.

With about two months left before a significant change to a Medicaid program for medically complex individuals, some families say the Family and Social Services Administration has failed to communicate with caregivers and other stakeholders. A grassroots organization of family caregivers met with the governor and FSSA to express its concerns with the change.

The Family and Social Services Administration said Medicaid members 60 years or older need to select their Pathways for Aging health plan or they will be auto enrolled starting in late April.

Reining in Medicaid spending is the task facing lawmakers and the next governor in 2025s budget-writing session.

Hoosiers with disabilities or who want to age in place may have a harder time accessing services under an important Medicaid waiver. The Family and Social Services Administration will implement a waitlist for the Aged and Disabled waiver, as part of its effort to address the states Medicaid shortfall.

Families of medically complex children want to protect a Medicaid program they say contributes to the well-being of their children. Several families protested the attendant care cuts Thursday outside of a bill-signing event hosted by Gov. Eric Holcomb.

A new bipartisan bill takes aim at a $500 billion government health care mess. Will it make care better for some of the country's sickest, poorest patients?

Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a bill Monday that requires hospitals to ensure Medicaid members have the option during a delivery visit to get a long-acting reversible contraceptive, also known as a LARC. The new law also requires Medicaid to cover the cost of keeping a LARC option stocked.

Policymakers and families of medically complex children have been asking for a pause on the attendant care program cut since it was announced in January, following the $1 billion Medicaid shortfall. A House committee voted Tuesday against an amendment that would have postponed the controversial cut.

The report by the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform found a growing number of rural hospitals no longer deliver babies.
