Amendments to Indiana’s Medicaid Waiver program went into effect on July 1, 2024 for the new PathWays for Aging and Health and Wellness (H&W) waivers – formerly combined in the Aged and Disabled (A&D) waiver. Amendments to the Community Integration and Habilitation (CIH), Family Supports (FSW), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) waivers also went into effect.

Effective July 1, individuals age 59 and younger who had been receiving services through the Aged and Disabled waiver will receive services through the Health and Wellness waiver. IPMG provides care management for Hoosiers receiving the Health and Wellness Waiver. Information and resources for individuals transitioning from the Aged and Disabled Waiver to the Health and Wellness Waiver can be found on FSSA’s website.

Additional resources have been posted to assist individuals and their families. For example, you can review Home Health FAQs and examine the Health and Wellness Waiver Waiting List Process.
