Background • HEA 1007 provides for the development of En. Cred that adds new statutory language in Ind. Code 12 -15 -11 -9 – This gives the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) the authority to develop and implement a centralized verification organization (CVO). En. Cred is FSSA’s solution to that requirement • Nearly 80% of the 1. 4 million IHCP members receive care through one of four managed care entities (MCEs). Currently, connecting the 50, 000 Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) providers with these members involves a fragmented and sequential enrollment and credentialing process that is not consistent with the State’s desire for efficient government services – Right now, providers must first submit an enrollment application to IHCP. Then, after a successful enrollment, a provider must submit a credentialing application to each MCE. After becoming credentialed (up to four times), the provider can begin the contracting and enrolling process for each MCE to provide services to members within each MCE’s network – The current process requires the provider to be accountable to IHCP for Medicaid enrollment information and accountable to each MCE for credentialing information • The FSSA En. Cred project was developed to create a singular, unified IHCP enrollment and credentialing process with one point of accountability for all providers – The State has contracted with Conduent, Inc. (formerly Xerox/ACS Human Services) to design the En. Cred solution for IHCP providers 4

Terms and Concepts • Enrollment - the act of enrolling to become an IHCP

Terms and Concepts • Enrollment - the act of enrolling to become an IHCP provider • Credentialing - the process where verification of education, training experience expertise and willingness to provide services is performed – NCQA sets these processes and methods for validation • FSSA En. Cred (En. Cred) - a single enrollment and credentialing process for IHCP providers – Credentialing will occur during the enrollment application process for those providers required to be credentialed 5

Project Status • Currently in the development phase – Finalizing the data interfaces with external stakeholders (e. g. DXC, Managed Care Entities (MCEs), Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM - Optum Rx), Southeastrans (SET), and the State’s Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW)) – Continue monthly provider status and update meeting to provide updates and answer questions – Continue transition planning activities between En. Cred team and DXC – Established the En. Cred Provider Workgroup, comprised of a variety of IHCP provider types • Workgroup will be trained to utilize and test the En. Cred system and contribute feedback on the provider experience as end users of the solution • Next Steps: Testing Phase 7

En. Cred Provider Enrollment “Black-Out” Period • In order to allow sufficient time for enrollment applications and updates to be completed prior to the En. Cred implementation date, a provider enrollment “black-out” period is necessary • The “black-out” period will be approximately 30 days • All provider enrollment applications or updates (paper and portal) will need to be received prior to the start of the “black-out” period • The applications and updates functionality will not be available via the IHCP provider portal after the start of the “black-out” period • Paper applications postmarked on or after the “black-out” period start date will be returned to the provider to apply via En. Cred *Watch for additional details on the IHCP “black-out” period in future publications

En. Cred Benefits • • • 14 Reduced duplication: En. Cred eliminates the need

En. Cred Benefits • • • 14 Reduced duplication: En. Cred eliminates the need to update provider information in more than one place Streamlined application: Application will include both enrollment and credentialing data fields – E. g. will include additional fields from a CAQH application (education, work history, etc. ), if applicable Increased accuracy: En. Cred will be the single source of truth for provider information, accessible through the IHCP portal by providers and delegates Time saving: – Intend to enroll and credential providers (unless exceptions exist) within 30 days – Only one application (including credentialing information) is submitted, instead of five, to become enrolled and credentialed in IHCP – Only one verification of information is required, instead of five – A centralized committee will be utilized instead of four separate MCE committees – E-signatures will allow providers to attest at any time from any location Increased efficiency with MCEs: Once providers are approved to participate in IHCP, they can begin the process of contracting/enrolling in MCE network Technological improvement: En. Cred can accommodate larger attachment upload sizes

En. Cred Re-attestation Process and Timeline • Re-attestation: Providers who need to credential as part of the enrollment process will be required to re-attest to their information every 120 days • When providers re-attest, they are attesting that all the information in the application is current, true, and accurate • This is separate from CAQH re-attestation. CAQH data is currently only credentialing and not enrollment • Providers can submit applications via paper; however they can only re-attest electronically 17

En. Cred Revalidation and Recredentialing • A schedule is being developed to align revalidation

En. Cred Revalidation and Recredentialing • A schedule is being developed to align revalidation and recredentialing dates to a single date, once every three years • Providers will be notified of their new date via the standard 90, 60, 30 day notification process 18

Important Changes after En. Cred Go-Live • All rendering providers must establish an IHCP

Important Changes after En. Cred Go-Live • All rendering providers must establish an IHCP account • Any time there is an update to provider information (i. e. address, other information), it will require the provider to re-attest – Note: This is due to the combining of enrollment and credentialing together • EFT - En. Cred will consume initial EFT information during the application process; however all maintenance/changes of EFT information must be submitted via the IHCP portal and also directly to the MCEs • Revalidation and re-credentialing date alignment 19
