Summary
Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) is changing podiatry benefit limits from a rolling 12-month period to per calendar year, effective October 1, 2020. This affects the counting period for podiatry office visits (limited to 1 per year) and routine foot care services for diabetic patients (limited to 6 per year).
Action Required
By October 1, 2020: Billing team must update systems to track podiatry visit limits and routine foot care services on a calendar year basis instead of rolling 12-month period. Update patient eligibility verification processes to check calendar year usage for Indiana Medicaid podiatry benefits. Verify managed care entity policies align with this change.
