Indiana families lose Medicaid access for children with disabilitiesINDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Some Indiana families with disabled children said they are being kicked off their health insurance through Medicaid.
Parents of kids with disabilities rely heavily on Medicaid and its Home and Community Based Services waivers.
On June 1, the family was notified by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) that Sammy was kicked off Medicaid, which also impacted his waiver.
If a child is under 18 with a waiver, Medicaid only looks at the child’s income and assets.
FSSA remains committed to supporting Hoosiers with disabilities and ensuring that waiver services are available to those who meet the eligibility criteria.”
