About this file
This Statement of Work is part of a Contract between the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration's Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning and managed care organizations to provide statewide, risk-based managed care services to Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in Indiana's PathWays for Aging program, which serves approximately 115,000 Hoosiers aged 60 and older who are eligible for Medicaid on the basis of age, blindness, or disability. The PathWays program is a coordinated care program designed to ensure more Hoosiers can age at home, simplify access to home and community-based services (HCBS), and appropriately divert individuals from long-term nursing facility stays through high-quality care coordination across the delivery system and care continuum, including coordination between Medicaid and Medicare for dually eligible members. The Contractor must be an Indiana-licensed health maintenance organization and must achieve National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) accreditation with the LTSS Distinction on or before the contract start date, or no later than the end of the second full calendar year of operation. Contractors must maintain an administrative office within five miles of the Indiana Government Center in Indianapolis with key staff residing in Indiana and performing the majority of their duties on-site. The contract term is four years with two optional one-year renewals available at the state's discretion.
The Contractor must maintain separate accounting records for the PathWays line of business and comply with Indiana Department of Insurance requirements for minimum net worth and risk-based capital at 300 percent per NAIC standards. Financial requirements include obtaining a Fidelity Bond or Fidelity Insurance, professional liability (malpractice) insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and comprehensive liability insurance no less than 90 days prior to delivering services. The Contractor must purchase commercial reinsurance from a reinsurer with Standard and Poor's claims-paying ability ratings of "AA" or higher and Moody's bond rating of "A1" or higher, with attachment points not exceeding $2 million and co-insurance responsibility capped at 20 percent unless approved otherwise. State fiscal year 2027 capitation rates for PathWays for Aging are $3,468.29 PMPM composite rates. The Statement of Work establishes comprehensive administrative, clinical, and operational requirements including mandatory staffing positions such as a Plan President/CEO, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chief Medical Officer, Behavioral Health Administrative Director, and numerous other specialized roles, all of whom must be approved by FSSA and remain accessible to the State throughout the contract term.

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Statement of Work is part of a Contract to provide statewide, risk-based managed care services to Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in the State of Indiana’s PathWays for Aging (PathWays) program. The State is looking to contract on a statewide basis with proven managed care organizations (MCOs) with a demonstrated capacity to coordinate and provide member-driven, accessible, equitable and high-quality services to eligible Medicaid members for medical, behavioral, and long-term services and supports.
Because PathWays is financed in part by federal Medicaid funds, the Contractor must meet all applicable requirements of Medicaid managed care organizations pursuant to Section 1903(m) and 1932 of the Social Security Act, as well as the implementing regulations set forth in 42 CFR 438, which defines requirements for Medicaid managed care programs. The Contractor must also ensure that its network providers, including out-of-state providers, enroll in the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) before they begin providing health care services to members. Further information about IHCP provider enrollment is located at:
https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/become-a-provider/
Unless otherwise indicated, the requirements set forth in this Statement of Work apply to the Contractor’s responsibilities under the PathWays program. Definitions for terms cited throughout the Statement of Work are listed in Exhibit 5 Contract Definitions unless otherwise specified.
II. BACKGROUND AND CURRENT STATE
Background
The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning (OMPP) maintains the five (5) Medicaid programs described below. For purposes of this Statement of Work, the term “FSSA” shall refer to the agency and its divisions, including, but not limited to OMPP.
As the State continues to evaluate and design Medicaid benefits, the State reserves the right to add additional populations not currently outlined in this Contract into its managed care programs.
Hoosier Healthwise
Hoosier Healthwise is a Medicaid program that helps approximately five hundred and eighty-nine thousand (589,000) Hoosiers. The program’s aim is to provide comprehensive health care coverage for children up to age nineteen (19) and pregnant individuals.
The Contractor must perform the administrative functions of a typical insurer, as well as address the unique challenges of low-income children and families, including managing and integrating care along the continuum of health care services.
Healthy Indiana Plan
FSSA has maintained the Healthy Indiana Plan program since 2008. Healthy Indiana Plan is one of the Medicaid programs that helps over four hundred and eighty-seven thousand (487,000) Hoosiers. Healthy Indiana Plan aims to provide comprehensive health care coverage for low-income adults aged nineteen to sixty-four (19 to 64) that may not be otherwise eligible for Medicare or Medicaid and most pregnant women covered by Medicaid.
The State of Indiana intends to implement modifications to the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) program whereby all non‑expansion adult members, including pregnant women, will be transitioned to the Hoosier Healthwise Medicaid Managed Care program. Following these changes, the Healthy Indiana Plan will be designated exclusively for Medicaid expansion adults. The State will undertake all necessary steps to effectuate this transition in accordance with Federal and State requirements. The Healthy Indiana Plan and Hoosier Healthwise Statement of Work documents will be updated to reflect these changes prior to implementation of the program change.
The Healthy Indiana Plan program seeks not only to provide health coverage to an uninsured population, but to improve health, promote prevention and encourage healthy lifestyles.
Hoosier Care Connect
FSSA has maintained the Hoosier Care Connect program since 2015, and it currently serves approximately eighty thousand (80,000) Hoosiers. Hoosier Care Connect is a coordinated care program for Indiana’s Medicaid members under the age of sixty (60) meeting the following criteria:
· Blind individual,
· Individual with a disability,
· Wards, foster children, former foster children and children receiving adoption assistance,
· Are not eligible for Medicare, or
· Are not on a 1915(c) Medicaid waiver.
Through the Hoosier Care Connect program, FSSA seeks to improve the quality of care and health outcomes for the identified population. This includes improved clinical and functional status, enhanced quality of life, improved member safety, and enhanced member autonomy and adherence to treatment plans.
PathWays for Aging
FSSA has managed the PathWays program since inception in 2024. PathWays serves approximately one hundred and fifteen thousand (115,000[footnoteRef:2]) Hoosiers. Indiana’s PathWays program is a statewide coordinated care program for Indiana’s Medicaid members who are sixty (60) years of age and older and are eligible for Medicaid on the basis of age, blindness, or disability and have limited income and resources. All individuals who are sixty (60) years of age or older in the target eligibility categories will be included unless they meet an exclusion, as specified in Exhibit 3 Program Description and Covered Benefits. Members include members who have a full Medicare benefit and those who are receiving long-term services and supports (LTSS) in a home or community-based setting. LTSS includes Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) which are intended to support individuals who have functional limitations and/or chronic illnesses that have the primary purpose of supporting the ability of the member to live or work in the setting of their choice. HCBS services include, but are not limited to, in-home personal care, adult day centers, assisted living, and caregiver support. [2: The enrollment figures provided in this Statement of Work are current figures only. Enrollment in the programs may increase or decrease in the future based upon federal policies, program priorities, available funding, etc.]
In developing PathWays, FSSA seeks to achieve the following:
· Ensure more Hoosiers can choose to age at home and simplify access to HCBS
· Appropriately divert individuals from long-term nursing facility stays in accordance with a person-centered approach through high-quality care coordination, coordinated care across the delivery system and care continuum, including across Medicaid and Medicare for dually eligible members, and taking into account physical health, behavioral health, and social services
Fee-for-Service
Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicaid provides full health coverage to individuals eligible for Medicaid and are an excluded population from managed care enrollment, such as individuals receiving intellectual and developmental disability services through the Division of Disability, Aging, and Rehabilitation Services (DDARS); American Indian and Alaskan Natives; individuals under the age of sixty (60) who are Medicaid and Medicare (dual) eligible; and individuals residing in institutional settings. FFS Medicaid serves approximately two hundred and forty thousand (240,000) Medicaid eligible individuals. FFS Medicaid benefits include all services that are covered under Package A-Standard Plan.
III. SCOPE OF WORK
