See Indiana Health Cover Programs (IHCP) Bulletins BT201951 and BT201855 for more information.
In accordance with this federal requirement, the IHCP worked toward implementing an EVV system by January 1, 2020. However, after receiving input from the provider community, the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) submitted a good faith exemption request to the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to extend the soft launch of EVV.
