What FFAC needs to evaluate a request

Northwest Indiana is closely connected to the Chicago metropolitan area, but FFAC’s provider role applies to Indiana participants and authorized Indiana services. Share the Indiana county where care will be delivered so FFAC can review the correct program and network information.

Travel patterns differ substantially between dense Lake County communities and more rural Jasper, Newton, Pulaski, or Starke County locations. The requested schedule and an existing caregiver, when available, are important parts of the capacity review.

For this region, the counties commonly discussed include Lake County, Porter County, LaPorte County, Jasper County, Newton County, Pulaski County, Starke County. FFAC will confirm the actual service county rather than assuming it from the nearest city.
