Rep. Wendy Dant Chesser, D-Jeffersonville, speaks about Indiana’s Medicaid program during an interview at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis. More Frequent Eligibility ReviewsIndiana has already increased how often it checks for possible changes in Medicaid eligibility. Work Requirements BeginThe most significant change is scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, 2027, when Indiana must begin enforcing new federal work and community engagement requirements for certain adults enrolled through the Healthy Indiana Plan, the state’s Medicaid expansion program. A spring survey by the Health Management Academy found nearly half – 47.4% – of Indiana Medicaid enrollees did not know work requirements are scheduled to take effect in 2027. More than half also said they had received no information about the upcoming changes from their state Medicaid program.
