A Family and Social Services Administration officials says the agency has reversed course and will seek federal approval for presumptive Medicaid eligibility for low-income pregnant women that would help them get prenatal care.
FSSA Secretary Mitch Roob says the agency also might seek to expand enrollment in its State Children's Health Insurance Program to children in households earning up to three times the federal poverty level.
Both expansions of the state's Medicaid program were included in the 2007 law that authorized Gov. Mitch Daniels' Healthy Indiana Plan, which provides medical savings accounts for low-income adults. But FSSA has been slow to adopt them.
