03/22/2023 Attention Medicaid eligible patients. There are upcoming eligibility changes required by federal law. The changes are the result of the recently passed federal spending bill, which ends the pandemic related eligibility provisions on March 31, 2023. This means regular determinations for coverage will begin again, and actions to adjust, reduce or eliminate coverage will be allowed beginning in April 2023. Please go to FSSABenefits.IN.gov to update your current information and check your coverage.
