NAVIGATING THE STORM: WE CAN HELP WITH YOUR INDIANA MEDICAID DENIAL

Tens of thousands of Hoosiers have been dropped from Medicaid in the last year. State data shows a staggering number of these terminations—many affecting children and people with disabilities—were not because a family was found ineligible. They were terminated for “procedural reasons.”

That means a notice that never arrived. A renewal packet lost in the mail. A document uploaded to a portal that glitched. For families, the result is the same: chaos. Suddenly, a life-saving prescription for a child is denied at the pharmacy counter. A long-scheduled therapy appointment is canceled. The in-home support for an elderly parent vanishes overnight, leaving family caregivers exhausted, forced to miss work, and terrified of what happens next.

The system is in turmoil, and families are paying the price. While the state adjusts income and asset limits, thousands are caught in a bureaucratic nightmare. Were you sent the proper renewal forms on time? Can FSSA prove you received the notice to submit documents? Why are so many families learning they’ve lost coverage only when they are in crisis, trying to access care?

You have a right to answers. You have a right to appeal. And you do not have to face this alone.
