Hoosier Healthwise Members

Presumptive Eligibility (PE) and Notification of Pregnancy

OMPP implemented two programs in July 2009 aimed at improving birth outcomes in the Hoosier Healthwise program.

The goal of the PE program is to offer ambulatory prenatal healthcare to women early in their pregnancies, so they stay healthy and have healthy babies.

PE is a limited period of time during which a pregnant woman, who has been determined to be “presumptively eligible” by a Qualified Provider (QP), may receive ambulatory prenatal services while her Hoosier Healthwise application is being processed.

 

Providers will be reimbursed for ambulatory services during the presumptive eligibility period, regardless of whether or not the member ultimately qualifies for the Hoosier Healthwise program.
