Family First Attendant Care
FSSA reports CMS approval of amendments effective August 1, 2026 for H&W, TBI, PathWays, CIH, and Family Supports. The proposed live-in caregiver rate adjustments in bulletin BT202673 were rescinded. This does not establish an individual’s eligibility, hours, or caregiver approval. Read FSSA’s approval notice (PDF).
Contracted case management changed August 1 for the BDS waivers and PathWays fee-for-service. PathWays managed-care members should work with their health plan. FSSA describes the Youth Waiver as targeted for July 2027 and adult Waiver Reset for 2028; these are future plans, not programs FFAC currently offers. Check FSSA’s current transition guidance.
A waiver invitation, Medicaid enrollment, service authorization, and an available caregiver are different steps. PathWays waiver services can have a waiting list even though the overall PathWays managed-care program does not. For current information, use Indiana’s official waiting-list page and the instructions in your notice.
This update checks the linked public guidance, not FFAC’s contracts or every individual service rule. Confirm personal next steps with your coordinator or health plan.
