The Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) issued a Bulletin documenting requirements clarified for claims billed to Medicaid for dually eligible members.
Also in Indiana, IHCP reminded providers about the benefits of submitting claims electronically and provided pharmacy updates approved by the Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning.
Also in Indiana, IHCP announced that effective July 1, they will expand provider enrollment to include licensed pharmacists. This new provider specialty will allow eligible pharmacists to enroll as rendering providers linked to a group provider. Group providers may be reimbursed for evaluation and management (E/M) services related to hormonal contraceptives provided by IHCP-enrolled pharmacists, as outlined in Indiana Code IC 25-26-25.
Finally in Indiana, the Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning is seeking applicants to serve on the Medicaid Advisory Committee which provides feedback on the program policies and proposed policies that ensure the program is responsive to concerns as well as providing transparency and accountability.
