Orthopedics Billing in Indiana

Workers compensation is a large share of the book, and it is billed to a state fee schedule rather than to your contracted rates. In Indiana that plays out against a specific set of rules rather than a general one.

Claims for Indiana providers are adjudicated by WPS Government Health Administrators (J8), which is also who hears the first level of appeal — so an appeal argument that works here works in every state that contractor covers.

What changes in Indiana

Medicaid in Indiana runs as Hoosier Healthwise and the Healthy Indiana Plan and is delivered largely through commercial managed care plans, so most Medicaid claims are adjudicated by an insurer with its own filing window and its own authorization rules rather than by the state.
