The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning (OMPP) publishes this notice of proposed changes to the Medicaid Rehabilitation Option (b)(4) waiver.

FSSA OMPP proposes to add selective contracting for psychosocial rehabilitation services to the Medicaid Rehabilitation Option (b)(4) Waiver. This change is being made in conjunction with an amendment to the Indiana Medicaid State Plan to add psychosocial rehabilitation as a covered service under the MRO program. The proposed service is necessary to reinforce the continuum of care by offering community based supports as the member transitions to an increased level of independence and community integration. Psychosocial rehabilitation service refers to a MRO service provided in a setting accredited by Clubhouse International, in which the member, with staff assistance, is engaged in operating all aspects of the clubhouse while receiving psychosocial rehabilitation services.

A copy of this notice is now on file at the Indiana Government Center South, 402 West Washington Street, Room W451, Indianapolis, Indiana and is open for public inspection.

There will be no public hearing. The public comment period will open on April 13, 2016, and close on May 13, 2016. Written comments may be directed to:

Written comments will be made available for public inspection at the address herein of the OMPP.
