Important announcements regarding Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) are made in IHCP bulletins, which are published on this webpage. New information announced in IHCP bulletins is later incorporated into IHCP provider reference modules, as applicable, during regularly scheduled updates.


About IHCP Bulletins

IHCP bulletins provide official notice of:

  • New and revised policies
  • Changes and reminders related to coverage, billing and claim processing
  • Program updates
  • Information about special initiatives
  • Provider education opportunities

Bulletins are issued on an as-needed basis, typically posting on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To ensure that you don't miss important information, sign up to receive email alerts when new publications, such as bulletins or provider reference modules, are posted to this website.

All bulletins published from Jan. 1, 2020, through the present can be viewed from the table on this page or searched using the tool below. For historic purposes, bulletins issued before 2020 are accessible from the IHCP Bulletin Archive.

Caution: IHCP policies and procedures are subject to change. Older bulletins may contain obsolete information. The most current information about a topic can be found in the related provider reference module or in IHCP bulletins issued after the effective date noted in the module.


Bulletin Reference Search

You can use the following tool to search all bulletins published since Jan. 1, 2020, for a particular word or phrase.

Note: In the past, articles about certain topics (such as billing and claim-processing, provider education opportunities, and program reminders) were posted in a weekly publication called the IHCP Banner Page, rather than in a bulletin. Visit the IHCP Banner Pages page to view banner pages from 2020 through June 13, 2023, when they were retired, or the IHCP Banner Page Archive for older banner pages.


View Bulletins

By default, the following table lists IHCP bulletins starting from the most recent, back to Jan. 1, 2020. To change the order in which the bulletins are sorted, click the appropriate column heading. The Table Search function allows you to search for terms that appear within the table itself; for a comprehensive search of all bulletin content, use the search tool in the previous section.
