In 2011, the Indiana General Assembly authorized a new program that changed the way supplemental Medicaid payments are issued to Indiana hospitals that treat a disproportionate share of Medicaid patients. This program, initially authorized through 2013, will now govern hospital rates through 2017 following renewal by the Indiana General Assembly.

IHA Recommendations

IHA and its members worked closely with the Indiana Family & Social Services Administration (FSSA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to develop recommendations for a Medicaid State Plan Amendment. The final program was approved in May 2012.

IHA believes the amended program is the only realistic way to obtain any substantial increase in Medicaid reimbursement. It also ensures that payments “follow the patient” rather than targeting a particular hospital profile.
