Summary
Indiana Medicaid clarifies TB testing requirements for direct care HCBS providers and adds Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) to the list of services requiring TB compliance. All direct care employees must have TB tests before client contact, with yearly TB education and additional testing upon exposure.
Action Required
Immediately: Providers offering HCBS direct care services (including new SFC category) must ensure TB testing compliance for all direct care employees before client contact. Update personnel policies to include yearly TB education requirements and TB testing protocols for known exposures. Maintain TB test documentation in employee personnel files. Submit questions through OMPP HCBS Certification Portal if needed.
