What's New
Electronic fund transfer notices and checks are sent by the Auditor's office when payments are processed. EOP’s are sent by the program approximately 5 days later. Due to staff resources, we are unable to routinely fax copies of the EOP’s. Please wait at least 5 days before contacting our office to obtain copies of EOP’s. (As a reminder, after 1/1/10, providers will not be receiving EOP's if they currently receive an 835.)
Public Input Survey for Maternal and Child Health and Children's Special Health Care Services
Welcome to the new Public Input Survey for Maternal and Child Health and Children's Special Health Care Services Priority Needs!
Please take a moment to look at the Survey and the Survey Instructions. Save the Survey and Instructions to your computer, then follow the instructions to fill it out and e-mail it back to us.
Your opinion is very important and will help us decide what topics we will try to address first in the Maternal and Child Health and Children's Special Health Care Services programs over the next several years.
Thank you again for your help in this important effort!

Orthodontia Services
The Children’s Special Health Care Services program (CSHCS) has been paying 100% of the customary charge billed for orthodontia services. The CSHCS program is mandated by statute to reimburse all providers at the Indiana Medicaid allowed rate.
The current Indiana Medicaid allowed rate for orthodontia services billed under procedure D8080 (comprehensive orthodontic treatment of the adolescent dentition) is 90% of the customary charge billed by the provider. CSHCS will not recalculate previously paid claims or existing payment plans which have already been authorized by our pa staff. However, we will now apply this provision to all claims with prior authorizations processed on or after 11/1/2009.
Please remember providers may not bill the family for any payment balance that remains after CSHCS has paid the Indiana Medicaid allowed rate.
We appreciate your cooperation and participation in our program.
Transition Health Care Financing Options
CSHCS is committed to providing resource information to those young adults 18 and older for transitional purposes. This is a list of Private and Public Insurance options that may meet your needs. CSHCS does not favor or recommend any one agency or the other. We are simply providing the information.
