## Indiana Medicaid, enrolled and revalidated

An active Indiana Health Coverage Programs enrollment, revalidations filed on notice, and credentials that never lapse.

Indiana announced in June 2026 an accelerated revalidation of high risk and waiver providers over the next two years, on top of its normal five year cycle. The Family and Social Services Administration runs the Indiana Health Coverage Programs, and the steps are on the [IHCP provider enrollment page](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment).

* Accelerated revalidation
Over two years from June 2026, at a federal request, for providers rated high risk at or after enrollment and for waiver providers. [IHCP Bulletin BT202694, June 4, 2026](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/files/bulletins/BT202694.pdf)
* Revalidation notices
Sent 90, 60 and 30 days before the due date, one for each service location, and each location revalidates on its own. [Indiana Medicaid, revalidate your provider enrollment](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/provider-enrollment-and-maintenance-actions/provider-enrollment-revalidation)
* Application fee
$750 for enrollments received in 2026, charged per service location to providers subject to it, generally institutional providers and not physicians. [Indiana Medicaid, provider enrollment application fee](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/become-an-ihcp-provider/provider-enrollment-application-fee)
* Start date
Normally the date the Provider Enrollment Unit receives the enrollment application. [IHCP Provider Enrollment module, September 2026](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/files/modules/provider-enrollment.pdf)
* Managed care
After IHCP enrollment, a provider applies directly to each managed care organization it wants to join. [Indiana Medicaid, enrolling as a managed care program provider](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/enrolling-as-a-managed-care-program-provider)
* What we see in practice
45 to 90 days from submission to an active Medicaid ID.

## In the official words

> Any provider that fails to revalidate will be disenrolled from the IHCP and will be required to complete a new IHCP enrollment.

## Indiana is revalidating high risk and waiver providers early

In a bulletin dated June 4, 2026, the Indiana Health Coverage Programs announced that, at the request of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, it will run an accelerated revalidation over the next two years. It covers providers categorized as high risk at initial enrollment, providers moved to high risk later, and waiver providers, provider type 32, whatever their risk category. [IHCP Bulletin BT202694, June 4, 2026](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/files/bulletins/BT202694.pdf)

Nonwaiver providers that completed their screening between June 1, 2025 and May 31, 2026 are left out, and every provider not on the list stays on the normal five year cycle. A provider that fails to revalidate is disenrolled and must complete a new IHCP enrollment. [IHCP Bulletin BT202694, June 4, 2026](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/files/bulletins/BT202694.pdf)

The revalidation page adds that some providers will be screened at a different level during the accelerated process than the risk matrix shows, and it posts the revalidation due dates through December 2026 as spreadsheets. [Indiana Medicaid, revalidate your provider enrollment](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/provider-enrollment-and-maintenance-actions/provider-enrollment-revalidation) Federal rules set the outer limit at 5 years between revalidations. [42 CFR 455.414](https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-10-29/title-42.xml?part=455&section=455.414)

## How enrollment works, step by step

1. Check the risk level and fee before applying. The fee for enrollments received in 2026 is $750, it applies generally to institutional providers and not to individual professionals such as physicians, and it is charged in full for each service location. It must be paid online. [Indiana Medicaid, provider enrollment application fee](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/become-an-ihcp-provider/provider-enrollment-application-fee)
2. A location enrolled in Medicare, or one that already paid the fee to another state’s Medicaid agency, does not pay it again for that location. [Indiana Medicaid, provider enrollment application fee](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/become-an-ihcp-provider/provider-enrollment-application-fee)
3. If the provider is high risk, every owner with a stake of at least five percent completes Medicaid fingerprinting before the application is submitted, and the confirmation number goes on the application. [Indiana Medicaid, complete an IHCP provider enrollment application](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/complete-an-ihcp-provider-enrollment-application)
4. Submit the application and allow at least 15 business days before checking its status. An online submission rejected as incomplete must be corrected within 21 business days or it expires. [Indiana Medicaid, complete an IHCP provider enrollment application](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/complete-an-ihcp-provider-enrollment-application)
5. After the IHCP enrollment is in place, apply directly to each managed care organization for Healthy Indiana Plan, Hoosier Care Connect, Hoosier Healthwise or Indiana PathWays for Aging members. [Indiana Medicaid, enrolling as a managed care program provider](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/enrolling-as-a-managed-care-program-provider)

Coverage normally starts on the date the Provider Enrollment Unit receives the application [IHCP Provider Enrollment module, September 2026](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/files/modules/provider-enrollment.pdf), and every fix to a rejected online submission has to land inside its 21 business days [Indiana Medicaid, complete an IHCP provider enrollment application](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/complete-an-ihcp-provider-enrollment-application), so we tell Indiana practices to expect 45 to 90 days from submission to an active Medicaid ID.

## Revalidation and recertification are separate Indiana deadlines

Revalidation notices go out 90, 60 and 30 days ahead of the due date to the Mail To address on the enrollment profile. A provider with several service locations gets a notice for each and revalidates each location on its own, and providers should wait for the letter before starting. [Indiana Medicaid, revalidate your provider enrollment](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/provider-enrollment-and-maintenance-actions/provider-enrollment-revalidation)

Revalidation is a reenrollment, not an update. Every disclosure is entered again, and a group confirms each rendering provider at the location and includes a newly signed Rendering Provider Agreement for each one that stays. [IHCP Provider Enrollment module, September 2026](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/files/modules/provider-enrollment.pdf) Revalidating with Medicare does not revalidate the IHCP enrollment. [IHCP Provider Enrollment module, September 2026](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/files/modules/provider-enrollment.pdf)

Recertification is a separate clock for licenses, certifications and insurance on file. Where it applies, a notice goes out 60 days before eligibility ends, but the provider must recertify even without one. A provider that lets the enrollment lapse gets a new IHCP Provider ID on reenrollment. [Indiana Medicaid, recertify your enrollment credentials](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/provider-enrollment-and-maintenance-actions/recertify-your-enrollment-certifications)

## Where Indiana enrollments lose money

Federal regulations do not let the IHCP pay for services after an enrollment is end dated for a missed revalidation. [IHCP Provider Enrollment module, September 2026](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/files/modules/provider-enrollment.pdf) Disenrollment followed by reenrollment may leave a gap in eligibility. [Indiana Medicaid, revalidate your provider enrollment](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/provider-enrollment-and-maintenance-actions/provider-enrollment-revalidation)

Filing early has a smaller risk. A revalidation still in process when the current enrollment expires can cause a temporary deactivation, and once it is approved the enrollment is reactivated with a retroactive start date. [IHCP Provider Enrollment module, September 2026](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/files/modules/provider-enrollment.pdf)

Orders and referrals are checked as well. For the IHCP to pay for services from an order, prescription or referral, the ordering, prescribing or referring provider must be enrolled in Medicaid, and the rendering provider must verify that enrollment before providing the service. [Indiana Medicaid, ordering, prescribing or referring providers](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/ordering-prescribing-or-referring-providers)

When a retroactive enrollment is approved, claims for that period must be filed within 180 days of the approval. [IHCP Provider Enrollment module, September 2026](https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/files/modules/provider-enrollment.pdf)
