Indiana leaders accept comments on changes proposed for Medicaid waivers
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration began hearing from the public Monday on proposed changes to the aged and disabled waivers.
As News 8 reported last week, the waivers allow parents of medically complex children to get reimbursed for being full-time caregivers.
The administration plans to end the program to make up for a billion-dollar Medicaid funding shortfall that News 8 first reported on in mid-December.
Multiple people protested the change a week ago at the Statehouse.
The public comment period is open until Feb. 16.
