Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Indiana communities are receiving nearly $3 million in new federal support to help more children, parents and pregnant people enroll in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

Twenty states, including Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska and Kansas, have joined a lawsuit suing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services over a nursing home staffing requirement.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will not take action on Indianas authority to charge premiums for Medicaid at least for now. Medicaid advocates asked CMS to prevent the return of premiums in 2024. CMS said taking away this authority now would be too disruptive, but it reserves the right to take action in the future.

A lawsuit prompted Indiana to suspend the work requirements in 2019. And now, after a new review by the Biden administration, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is revoking its approval.

Enrollment for Medicare is open right now and countrys top Medicare official says some Hoosiers could be paying less.

The commonwealth is one of 10 states, including Indiana, that have requested approval from the federal government for such a provision.

Kentucky got the green light from the federal government Friday to require people who get Medicaid to work. It's a big change from the Obama administration, which rejected overtures from states that wanted to add a work requirement.

Ten states, including Indiana, have submitted proposals to add a work requirement to their Medicaid plans.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, has announced it won't be renewing contracts with companies providing enrollment assistance for people shopping for health insurance on the Federal Exchange this year, including a location in Indianapolis.

Legal and health care advocates say the requirement for Hoosiers to pay into the state's HIP 2.0 system is causing problems.
