Indianapolis, Indiana-based MDwise, a nonprofit healthcare company that offers state-sponsored health insurance plans, has announced it will cease operations and close its Indianapolis office in early 2026, following the termination of its state contract with Indiana Medicaid by the state's Family and Social Services Administration.
The closure will impact 238 employees, and layoffs are scheduled to begin on January 16, 2026.
According to a company statement, "The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration’s attack on MDwise should concern every Hoosier, especially those who rely on Medicaid for their health care needs. We have operated in good faith at every turn, and the state’s decision to terminate our contract ‘for convenience’ is unjustified and fails to consider the harm it will cause members, providers, employees, and communities."
Change is constant, and it's coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
