Welcome to the Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning
Thank you for visiting FSSA’s Medicaid website. Medicaid is more than just health coverage. It’s vital health care, helping about one in seven Hoosiers - nearly 800,000 - stay healthy or start on the road to better health.
Through Hoosier Healthwise, which serves more than 450,000 children and pregnant women, we are working to ensure that more young children receive well-child doctor visits, helping them to a healthy start in their critical developmental years. Hoosier Healthwise is working to support early healthcare for pregnant women. Prenatal care in the first trimester has proven to reduce the risk of premature and low birth weight babies.
Through the Indiana Chronic Disease Management Program, we are helping some of our most vulnerable Medicaid recipients improve their health and manage chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and asthma.
Through our Medicaid “waiver” programs, we help seniors and people with disabilities become active members of their communities instead of living in an institution.
Through Hoosier Rx, we help thousands of low-income seniors buy the prescription drugs they need to stay healthy.
Medicaid is an essential health care program that tangibly improves the health and lives of hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers. Thank you for your interest in the services we provide.
