We believe that clear information leads to more confident care decisions for you and your loved ones.

Choose the Path That Fits Your Situation

Indiana Medicaid Waiver Services

The right payment pathway should make accessing care clearer—not more complicated.

How the Medicaid Process Works

1

Initial Referral

A physician, family member, case manager, or individual submits care requests to the agency.

2

Review & Intake

Our intake team reviews the information and contacts the family to discuss service specific needs.

3

Authorization Coordination

We coordinate with the case manager or care coordinator to confirm program and service units.

4

Caregiver Matching

Based on authorization and staffing, we match a compassionate caregiver to the client’s schedule.

5

Authorized Resumption

Services officially start once all state authorizations, staffing, and documentation are confirmed.

Submitting a referral does not guarantee eligibility, authorization, staffing, or an immediate service start.

What We Need to Review a Referral

  • Valid Contact Information
  • Medicaid Payer Details
  • Current Case Management Contact
  • Authorized Service Units
  • Requested Service Schedule

Frequently Asked Payment Questions

How do I know if I qualify for a Medicaid waiver?

Eligibility is determined by the State of Indiana. We can help you identify the right state resources to begin the assessment process.

Do I need a doctor's referral for private-pay care?

While a physician’s input is helpful, non-medical private-pay services can be requested directly through a consultation with our agency.

Are the rates the same for all services?

Medicaid rates are set by the state, while private-pay rates vary based on the level and frequency of support requested.

How quickly can services start after I pay?

Start dates depend on staffing availability and the completion of the intake and safety review process.
