CMS Approves $120 Million Indiana Medicaid Waiver for Maternal Health and Workforce Expansion
CMS approved Indiana's 1115 waiver amendment providing $120 million in federal funding to expand maternal and infant health services, increase primary care access, and grow the healthcare workforce. The waiver includes targeted services for pregnant individuals and infants, workforce recruitment and retention programs, and enhanced care coordination. Effective immediately, the waiver runs through the current demonstration period. This approval reflects CMS's continued support for state flexibility in addressing maternal health outcomes and provider shortages through Medicaid demonstration authority.
Indiana's waiver establishes a precedent for using 1115 authority to fund workforce development and maternal health infrastructure, offering a roadmap for other states seeking federal matching funds for provider recruitment and care delivery expansion.
