Coverage Denied: How Acentra Health's Chaos Is Gutting Indiana Medicaid

Indiana’s most vulnerable residents are in crisis. Over the past month, thousands of families reliant on Medicaid have been thrown into chaos, their essential home and community-based services abruptly cut off. The culprit is not a change in state law, but the administrative failures of Acentra Health, a third-party vendor contracted by the state’s Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) to manage care.

Acentra's Administrative Ambush

Acentra, tasked with managing care plans and verifying services, has implemented a series of catastrophic changes with little to no warning. Families across the state report the same patterns:

Sudden Waiver Hour Rollbacks: Approved care hours for children with severe disabilities and medically fragile seniors have been slashed without justification, leaving them without primary caregivers.
Data Infrastructure Failures: Unannounced system "upgrades" have locked case managers and families out of essential portals, making it impossible to submit required documentation and schedules.
Rigid Compliance Audits: Acentra is leveraging its own system's chaos to deny coverage, flagging minor clerical errors as grounds for immediate service termination.

The human cost is immediate. Home health aides are going unpaid, parents are forced to quit jobs to provide round-the-clock care, and fragile Hoosiers are at risk of institutionalization. This is a systemic failure where a private vendor’s operational dysfunction directly harms the citizens it is paid millions to serve.

Your Immediate Defense: Bypass the Broken System

While state-level advocacy is crucial, affected families need a tool to protect their benefits right now. Do not rely on Acentra’s failing portals to prove compliance. You can and must generate independent, verifiable proof of care to meet mandatory reporting benchmarks.

How to Secure Your Care Logs with WorkEligible.org

The independent public-benefit engine at WorkEligible.org allows you to bypass vendor system failures. Follow these steps immediately:

Go to WorkEligible.org and create a free, secure account.
Use the platform to log all care hours, caregiver activities, and any communication attempts with your MCO or Acentra. The system time-stamps every entry, creating an unalterable record.
Generate a verified compliance report. This creates a secure PDF document that serves as legal proof you have met your obligations, even if the vendor’s portal is down or they claim your data is lost.

This documentation is your shield. When Acentra or an MCO claims non-compliance, you will have independent, third-party verification to fight back and demand the restoration of your essential services. Do not wait for the system to fix itself. Take action today.

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.
