Check Eligibility

We recommend that you check member eligibility each and every time a member presents for services, as member eligibility can fluctuate. Changes in health status such as pregnancy or certain medical conditions may also cause changes in plan eligibility.

Important Tools & Resources
Provider PortalMember ID Card

You can easily verify member eligibility by accessing the Provider Portal or through an eligible Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) clearinghouse.

The member ID card is used to identify a member; it does not guarantee eligibility or benefits coverage.

Please note: Indiana members utilize the ID assigned by the state of Indiana and not a unique CareSource subscriber ID.

Quick Tips: Member Consent

  • When you check eligibility on the Provider Portal, you can also determine if a member has granted consent to share sensitive health information (SHI). 
  • When a member has a sensitive health diagnosis (e.g., treatment for drug/alcohol use, genetic testing, HIV/AIDS or sexually transmitted diseases), you should verify if the patient has granted consent to share health information. On the Provider Portal, a message displays on the Member Eligibility page if the member has not consented to sharing sensitive health information.
  • Please encourage CareSource members who have not consented to complete the Member Consent/HIPAA Authorization Form so that all providers involved in their care can effectively coordinate their care. This form is located on the member Forms webpage.
  • The Member Consent/HIPAA Authorization Form can also be used to designate a person to speak on the member’s behalf. This designated representative can be a relative, a friend, a physician, an attorney or some other person that the member specifies.

Quick Tips: Notification of Pregnancy (NOP)

Notification of Pregnancy (NOP) is a brief online form created by the Indiana Family & Social Services Administration to facilitate communication between providers and managed care entities (MCEs) such as CareSource. The intention is to help identify risk factors in the earliest stages of pregnancy for women enrolled in Indiana Medicaid programs to improve birth outcomes.CareSource can help provide outreach and support to members throughout pregnancy and beyond to help ensure the best outcomes for mother and baby.To encourage utilization of the NOP process, recognized providers are eligible for a $60 reimbursement for one submitted NOP per managed care member, per pregnancy.

Providers can earn reimbursements for NOP form submissions. Learn more here!

To complete an NOP for a patient, please sign into the Indiana Provider Healthcare Portal at https://portal.indianamedicaid.com, or call the help desk at 1 (800) 457-4584 for more information.
