Who can beneficiaries see in the Traditional Medicaid program?

In the Traditional Medicaid program, beneficiaries have the flexibility to see any provider who is enrolled in the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP). This includes a wide range of healthcare professionals and facilities that have met the necessary enrollment criteria set by the Medicaid program. By allowing access to any IHCP-enrolled provider, the program ensures that beneficiaries can choose from a diverse network of healthcare options for their medical needs.

This choice is particularly significant because it empowers beneficiaries to seek care from various specialties and providers, rather than being limited to a specific type of healthcare provider or location. This flexibility is essential for patients who may need specific types of care or who wish to maintain relationships with particular providers who are part of the IHCP network.

Other choices are restrictive in nature. Some may imply limitations based on location, specialty, or provider type, which would not reflect the broader access provided under the Traditional Medicaid program.
