Medicaid Waiver Updates

July 1, 2024 Medicaid Waiver Changes

Amendments to Indiana’s Medicaid Waiver program went into effect on July 1, 2024 for the new Pathways for Aging and Health and Wellness (H&W) waivers – formerly combined in the Aged and Disabled (A&D) waiver. Amendments to the Community Integration and Habilitation (CIH), Family Supports (FSW), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) waivers also went into effect.

Effective July 1, individuals age 59 and younger who had been receiving services through the Aged and Disabled waiver will receive services through the Health and Wellness waiver.

Indiana PathWays for Aging, a Medicaid managed care program for individuals aged 60 and over also launched on July 1. Some individuals on the PathWays program will qualify for additional services based on their needs and will be eligible for the PathWays Medicaid Waiver. Those individuals were also previously served by the Aged and Disabled Waiver.

Resources, including a guide for who to contact if you are in need of assistance, are available to help individuals navigate any challenges faced with the transition.

Information and resources for individuals transitioning from the Aged and Disabled Waiver to the Health and Wellness Waiver can be found on FSSA’s website.
