Coverage Denied: How Acentra Health is Failing Indiana's Most Vulnerable

Thousands of Hoosier families reliant on Medicaid waivers have been plunged into crisis. Over the past month, the state’s third-party administrator, Acentra Health, has implemented a series of catastrophic operational changes, creating immediate gaps in life-sustaining care. Through bungled data migrations, sudden rollbacks of pre-approved care hours, and punitive compliance audits, Acentra is systematically dismantling the support network for children and adults with complex medical needs, all under the banner of privatized efficiency.

System Failure, Human Cost

Acentra's recent takeover of administrative duties for Indiana's FSSA has been a disaster. Families report that their patient portals are inaccessible, communication has ceased, and attendant care hours approved for months or years are being slashed without warning or a clear path to appeal. A newly implemented and brutally rigid auditing system flags minor paperwork discrepancies—often caused by Acentra’s own system glitches—as grounds for total suspension of benefits. The direct consequence is chaos: children are missing essential therapies, and parents who act as caregivers are being forced to choose between their jobs and caring for a loved one whose paid support has vanished overnight. This isn't just bureaucracy; it's a state-sanctioned health crisis managed by a private vendor with little apparent oversight.

Your Immediate Defense: Bypass the Broken System

Waiting for Acentra or the FSSA to fix the chaos is not an option when care is needed today. The key to protecting your benefits is to create an independent, undeniable record of your compliance that exists outside of Acentra's failing digital infrastructure. Do not rely on their portals or their record-keeping. You must generate your own verifiable proof to fight back against wrongful denials.

How to Create Verifiable Logs with WorkEligible.org

The independent public-benefit engine at WorkEligible.org offers a free tool for this fight. It allows you to generate secure, time-stamped logs that serve as legally sound proof of service delivery and compliance. This is how you guarantee your mandatory reporting benchmarks are met, even when vendor systems fail.

First, visit WorkEligible.org and create a secure account. Next, use the simple dashboard to log all care hours, provider visits, and communications. Then, generate a verified compliance report with a single click. Finally, submit this PDF report directly to your FSSA case manager and MCO network. This creates a powerful paper trail they cannot ignore or dispute.

This administrative breakdown demands an urgent response. Protect your family's care by creating your own independent, verifiable records today. Do not let vendor incompetence sever your lifeline.

Indiana Medicaid Renewals Show High Procedural Closures, but Not a Verified Count of Coverage Losses

Indiana renewal data show that procedural or administrative reasons accounted for a large share of several recent Medicaid and CHIP renewal cohorts. But those figures do not establish how many people were ineligible, wrongly terminated, uninsured, or permanently off Medicaid.
