When members choose to receive self-referred services from IHCP-enrolled self-referral providers who do not have contractual relationships with the MCO, the MCO is responsible for payment to these providers (as out-of-plan providers). The following services are considered self-referral services: • Chiropractic, eye care services and podiatric services are self-referral services under state law. The Indiana Administrative Code 405 IAC 5 provides further detail regarding these benefits. Hoosier Healthwise members may self-refer these services to any IHCP provider qualified to provide the service. • Family planning services under Federal regulation 42 CFR 431.51(b)(2) require a freedom of choice of providers and access to family planning services and supplies.

2.2 Carved-out Services Hoosier Healthwise provides some services that are not included in the MCO capitation and, therefore, not the responsibility of the MCO. These services are referred to as “carved-out” services. The State’s fiscal agent, on a FFS basis, pays for carved-out services rendered to MCO members. However, under some circumstances, services related to the carved-out services are the responsibility of the MCO for reimbursement. Listed below are the carved-out services and the conditions under which related services are the MCO’s responsibility. The MCO Policy and Procedure Manual describes these carved-out services in greater detail: • Behavioral health services, as described above are self-referral services that are carved out from the MCO’s responsibilities when rendered by mental health specialty providers enrolled in the IHCP.

The MCO may direct its members to providers in Part X. LIMITATIONS OF COVERED MEDICAL SERVICES or Exclusions described in Part XIthe MCO’s network for diabetes self-management services.
