How We Support You
Application & Eligibility Guidance
We provide structured support throughout the Indiana Medicaid application process:
Reviewing potential eligibility
Organizing financial documentation
Clarifying income and resource limits
Identifying common denial triggers
Assisting through the Authorized Representative process when appropriate
We help reduce errors that delay approvals.
Medicaid Waiver & Waitlist Education
Indiana’s HCBS Waiver programs can provide essential in-home services, but the process can be confusing.
We help you understand:
How the Waiver waiting list works
What happens after invitation
Required documentation during the 180-day eligibility window
Level of Care (LOC) considerations
How to prepare in advance
Preparation brings peace of mind.
Ongoing Support & Coordination
Approval is not the end it’s the beginning.
We continue supporting families with:
Understanding service plans
Preparing for assessments
Coordinating next steps
Clarifying communication with agencies
Monitoring timelines
We stay beside you through the transition, not just the paperwork.
Understanding the 5-Year Lookback vs. the 180-Day Window
These two timelines are often confused.
The 5-Year Lookback Period
Indiana Medicaid reviews financial activity going back 60 months (5 years) from the application date.
Improper or undocumented transfers may result in delays or penalties.
The 180-Day Eligibility Window
Once invited off the HCBS Waiver waiting list, individuals typically have up to 180 days to complete financial eligibility requirements.
Missing this window can delay approval.
Preparation before invitation is key.
Common Medicaid Mistakes in Indiana
We frequently see families:
Waiting until crisis mode
Transferring assets without understanding the lookback
Submitting incomplete documentation
Misunderstanding the waiver waitlist process
Missing the 180-day deadline
