Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP)

Effective July 1, 2013, the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) began requiring a surety bond from those applying to enroll as a common carrier (for-profit ambulatory or non-ambulatory) and/or a taxi transportation provider.

The surety bond requirement does not apply to a transportation provider that meets one of the following exceptions: 501(c)(3) organizations, businesses owned or controlled by a person that is licensed or certified by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA), a pharmacy with a permit issued by the Indiana Board of Pharmacy, a hospital licensed by the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH), those granted a waiver of the requirement at the discretion of the Secretary of Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) if transportation services are to be provided in a federal or state designated underserved area or if the IHCP has been determined the provider does not pose a significant risk of submitting fraudulent or false Medicaid claims.
