New Medicare Enrollment Mandate for Indiana Home Health Agencies

What You Need to Know

Effective July 1, 2026

Starting July 1, 2026, both new and existing Indiana home health agencies enrolled in IHCP (provider type 05) will be required to also be enrolled and recognized as Medicare providers.

Why It Matters

This new mandate elevates standards and helps ensure uniform quality and compliance across the state. For home health agencies, meeting this requirement will be essential to continue providing services under IHCP.

By staying ahead of this change, your organization can:

  • Avoid potential disruption in reimbursement
  • Ensure compliance and maintain operational continuity
  • Demonstrate credibility through recognized accreditation

 

Don’t wait to start the process. Medicare enrollment and accreditation can take six to nine months to complete. Beginning early ensures you’re certified and ready before the July 2026 deadline.
