Version: Table of Contents 8. Library Reference Number: Revision Date: December 2014. Version: Preface Overview The Medical Policy Manual has been developed to ensure the success of the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP). This Manual will be used as a reference handbook for the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning (OMPP) and other state contractors and partners.
9 The formulation of IHCP Medical policies will involve an array of individuals and a complex set of tasks for each Policy . The management of Medical Policy must involve the careful consideration of the stakeholders the state, the practitioner and provider community, and the IHCP member community. It must be collaborative in nature to promote a positive, effective, and responsive approach to customer service. By its unique nature, Medical Policy must strengthen the foundation of the IHCP, irrespective of the governing agency or healthcare delivery system. This Manual addresses the policies of the IHCP. The information regarding prior authorization (PA), payment methodology, and maximum fees may vary for providers rendering services to members enrolled in the Risk Based Managed Care (RBMC) delivery system.
10 Detailed descriptions of all IHCP-covered services, as well as exclusions and limitations, are also included. The objective is to take a proactive approach in the development of new Policy and the review of existing policies to ensure that the Manual is reflective of the IHCP. The Manual will serve as a living document, providing flexibility to accommodate change and promote ease of use. IHCP Oversight and Delivery Overview of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration The Indiana FSSA is the umbrella agency responsible for administering Indiana's public assistance programs. FSSA includes the offices and divisions listed below: OMPP. Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services (DDRS). Division of Family Resources (DFR).
