In accordance with public notice requirements established at 42 CFR 447.205, the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA), Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning (OMPP) publishes this notice of proposed changes to cost sharing obligations for adult vaccine and vaccine administration. The public notice period will run 08/30/2023 through 09/29/2023.

FSSA – OMPP proposes to cover, without cost sharing obligations, adult vaccines, and their administration, provided that the vaccine is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use by adult populations and is administered in accordance with recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. These changes will be effective October 1, 2023.

OMPP is making these changes to comply with section 11405 of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This state plan amendment (SPA) will therefore make conforming changes to the Medicaid State Plan to reflect the IRA adult vaccination coverage requirements.
