Home and Community-Based Services Spending Plan

What is the HCBS Spending Plan?

Indiana HCBS Spending Plan provides a one-time opportunity to invest $727 million in federal relief dollars into initiatives that enhance, expand, and strengthen Indiana’s home and community-based services ecosystem.  Home and community based services provide opportunities for Medicaid beneficiaries to receive services in their own home or community rather than in an institution, such as a nursing facility. These programs are intended to assist a person to be as independent as possible and live in the least restrictive environment possible while maintaining safety in the home. To date, the State has deployed hundreds of millions of dollars in funding, delivering critical relief to families and stabilizing provider businesses. This work remains a key priority for FSSA, and  we are grateful for the involvement and insight of our partners and stakeholders throughout the state as we continue to steward these investments.

Purpose

States are in a unique position to accelerate the expansion of HCBS, which offer older adults and individuals with disabilities greater choice and control in regards to services that help them achieve greater quality of life. As Indiana makes strides to strengthen HCBS to improve Hoosier health and well-being, FSSA prioritizes transparency and stakeholder involvement.
