The IHCA staff has engaged in multiple meetings and made presentations this summer concerning the study of managed care programming for the Aged, Blind and Disabled beneficiary group being conducted by the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA). The FSSA study is being conducted pursuant to a law that was passed in 2013 mandating such a report be made to the legislature’s Health Finance Commission by December 15, 2103. For a summary of what the report must address, visit FSSA’s website on the topic at http://www.in.gov/fssa/4828.htm. IHCA submitted initial comments to FSSA concerning its report and approach to the issue in mid-July. Click here for IHCA’s responses. You can view IHCA’s presentation that was made to FSSA’s internal committee at http://www.in.gov/fssa/files/IHCA_ABD_Taskforce_Presentation.pdf and watch the presentation at http://www.in.gov/fssa/4830.htm (see Indiana Health Care Association under the August 16th, 2013 heading).
