Moving to or from Indiana with Medicaid

Moving TO Indiana

Indiana Medicaid does not accept transferred cases from other states: every new Indiana resident applies fresh through Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA). There is no waiting period tied to how recently you arrived — eligibility is decided on Indiana's own income and household rules from the day you become a resident.

Leaving Indiana

Leaving Indiana ends your Indiana Medicaid case — no state will take it over. Close the case with Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) effective your move month, then apply in your destination state immediately after arriving.
