Indiana Medicaid In Crisis: Private Vendor Failures Cut Lifeline Care

Thousands of Indiana’s most vulnerable residents are in crisis, abruptly losing access to essential Medicaid waiver services over the past month. The cause is not a change in eligibility, but the administrative chaos unleashed by Acentra Health, a third-party vendor contracted by the state’s Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA). Acentra’s recent operational overhauls have created immediate and devastating coverage gaps for families who depend on home and community-based care.

Acentra's Systemic Breakdown

Families across the state report that Acentra's flawed data infrastructure shifts and rigid, automated compliance audits have thrown their care into jeopardy. Attendant care hours are being retroactively denied or slashed without warning, leaving disabled children and elderly adults without critical support. The vendor’s online portals, which are mandatory for submitting documentation, have become unreliable, frequently crashing or failing to record submitted information. Consequently, recipients are being flagged for non-compliance and receiving termination notices for failing to meet benchmarks that Acentra's own broken system prevented them from fulfilling.

An Immediate Defense Strategy to Protect Your Benefits

You cannot afford to wait for Acentra to fix its failures. To protect your care, you must create an independent, verifiable record of your compliance activities immediately. This evidence is your primary defense against wrongful service denials.

The public-benefit engine at WorkEligible.org offers a direct and secure way to bypass Acentra’s failing portals. By using this independent tool, you can generate the verified compliance logs needed to meet FSSA’s mandatory reporting benchmarks and prove you have met your obligations.

How to Generate Secure Compliance Logs

  • Navigate to WorkEligible.org to create your private account.
  • Use the platform to log all required activities, such as care hours, communication with your Managed Care Entity (MCO), or attempts to submit documents.
  • Generate a secure, time-stamped report of your activities. This creates an indisputable, verified record of your compliance.
  • Submit this report directly to your FSSA case manager as irrefutable proof to challenge any service reduction or termination.

Do not let administrative malpractice sever your lifeline. Taking these steps provides a powerful, evidence-based defense to ensure your essential care is not unjustly taken away.
