Summary
Indiana is implementing Phase 2 of the Level of Care Assessment Representative (LCAR) process effective July 1, 2025, changing how nursing facility level of care assessments are conducted and who performs them. This primarily affects providers serving Medicaid patients requiring nursing facility admission or home/community-based waiver services.
Action Required
By July 1, 2025: Providers serving Indiana Medicaid patients should review the new LCAR process and contact Maximus at 833-597-2777 for nursing facility level of care assessments instead of previous entities. Visit inlcar.com for resources and refer patients appropriately based on the new workflow.
