This information clarifies services eligible for reimbursement under Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) when delivered virtually by Medicaid and Medicaid Waiver providers. This clarification reflects the passage of Senate Enrolled Act 3 (SEA 3) and the expiration of provisions related to telehealth services set forth in Executive Order 21-13. As part of Appendix K authority, Medicaid waiver providers can continue to provide non-health care services virtually and receive IHCP reimbursement. The temporary authority to bill for these services is granted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) through Appendix K as part of the federal response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. This temporary authority is tied directly to the federal public health emergency declaration, and as a result the ability to bill for these virtual services will end no later than six months after the public health emergency ends. Currently the public health emergency is anticipated to end
