Summary
Indiana Medicaid (IHCP) will implement a $5 processing fee for each paper claim submitted starting January 29, 2026. The fees will be automatically deducted from future claim payments through accounts receivable procedures.
Action Required
Before January 29, 2026: Billing team must transition to electronic claim submission through the IHCP Provider Healthcare Portal or EDI (837I, 837P, 837D) to avoid $5 per paper claim fees. Update billing workflow to eliminate paper claim submissions to prevent automatic fee deductions from future payments.
