STATE OF EMERGENCY: Indiana Medicaid in Meltdown

FACT: Tens of thousands of applications for critical healthcare are trapped in a bureaucratic black hole. This isn't a glitch. This is a crisis engulfing Indiana's most vulnerable families.

The System is Failing. The Harm is Real.

Indiana’s Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) and its contractor, Acentra Healthcare, are overseeing a system in chaos. We have the documents. We’ve heard from the families. The evidence points to a massive breakdown:

  • LIFE-SAVING APPLICATIONS: Delayed for months, leaving children and adults with severe disabilities without care.
  • VANISHING DOCUMENTS: Families submit paperwork again and again, only to be told it’s “missing.” Where is it going?
  • CALLS FOR HELP: Ignored. Voicemails unanswered. Parents left in the dark, desperate for answers.
  • SERVICES INTERRUPTED: Medically fragile Hoosiers suddenly cut off from in-home nursing, therapies, and essential support.
  • FAIR HEARINGS DELAYED: The one process to fix errors is itself broken, stalling justice for those harmed by the system.

The consequences are devastating. A child loses their in-home nurse. A senior citizen is denied essential medical equipment. Families are pushed to the breaking point, forced to choose between their jobs and caring for a loved one.

Is This a Violation of Federal Law?

When the state fails to provide community-based services in a timely manner, it can force people into nursing homes and other institutions. This raises profound questions under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Supreme Court’s landmark Olmstead decision. Is Indiana creating a pipeline from community living to institutionalization through these prolonged delays? We demand answers.

YOUR ACTION PLAN: Fight Back NOW

Do not wait for a callback that will never come. It is time to take control. For families, advocates, and legal teams, the battlefield has changed. We are giving you the tools:

  • ACCESS THE SECURE DATA PORTAL. Go online and get your records.
