A top IHA priority is the expansion of coverage as part of Indiana’s implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Rates and Relative Weights for Inpatient Hospital Reimbursement 

On Aug. 18, 2015, IHCP released the All-Patient Refined (APR) Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) version 30, rates and relative weights for inpatient hospital reimbursement in Bulletin BT201559. The APR DRG was effective Oct. 1 as the grouper for ICD-10, and Myers and Stauffer has provided an electronic file of the new rates and weights. Members can download it here. 

IHA and Member CEOs Testify at Medicaid Waiver Hearing

IHA President Doug Leonard testified at the first of two hearings on Indiana’s request to extend the Health Indiana Plan through 2016 and use it as a vehicle for coverage expansion. The hearings were part of the waiver application process required by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. His testimony was echoed by several IHA members who also testified and submitted letters.



Healthy Indiana Plan for Uninsured Hoosiers

IHA has actively supported the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) since the legislation that authorized the program became law in 2007. HIP provides health care security to thousands of Hoosiers who would otherwise have no insurance. IHA continues to make coverage expansion for as many as 400,000 Hoosiers a priority, and we support HIP as a sound basis for moving forward in this process.
