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.
“Specifically, at time of submission, the state did not meet the requirements for tribal consultation with the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians,” wrote Angela Garner, the acting director of the federal agency’s division of state demonstrations and waivers.
