Feds return Indiana Medicaid waiver application

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A federal agency has asked the Pence administration to resubmit its proposal for an alternative Medicaid expansion because Indiana’s initial application didn’t include input from a band of Potawatomi Indians.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services returned the state’s proposal last month, two weeks after the state submitted the plan. Federal officials wrote that they could not begin their formal review until Indiana consulted the tribe.
