BT202692: IHCP receives approval for an ABA provider enrollment moratorium

Score 76PRIMARYregulatoryState MedicaidIN

Summary

IHCP Bulletin BT202692 (June 4, 2026) announces that CMS has approved Indiana's request to impose an enrollment moratorium on applied behavior analysis providers, effective June 6, 2026. The moratorium prohibits new ABA group enrollments and changes of ownership for existing ABA therapy agencies for an initial six-month period, with the possibility of extension in six-month increments. Individual rendering-provider enrollments are not affected, and limited geographic exceptions are available to accredited providers in access-shortage areas upon application to OMPP.

What this may mean

Effective June 6, 2026, no new ABA group entity can enroll in Indiana Medicaid, and existing ABA agencies cannot complete a change of ownership, unless a geographic-access exception is granted. The moratorium is authorized under CMS approval and may be extended indefinitely in six-month increments, creating an indefinite barrier to ABA market entry and ownership transfers in Indiana. Agencies seeking an exception must hold active accreditation under the standards set in BT202646, linking the moratorium to the accreditation regime.
