IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE HEALTHY INDIANA PLAN

Keep this information for your records. Do not send it in with your application.

Benefits under the Plan

HIP provides health insurance coverage to eligible adults. Enrolled members keep their HIP benefits for 12 continuous months even if income or family size changes. Members must live in Indiana and have no other access to health insurance coverage. Benefits are provided through private health insurance companies and also the State’s Enhanced Services Plan (ESP) for members who have complex medical needs. You can choose your health plan on the first page of the application, or you can call the HIP Line at 1-877-GET-HIP-9 (1-877-438-4479) to get further information about the plan and to register your choice. If you don’t select a health plan, one will be chosen for you. Members with complex health care needs will be assigned to the ESP so that enhanced disease management services and specialized networks can be accessed. An applicant’s health condition has no bearing on the HIP eligibility decision. If FSSA determines that the ESP is not the appropriate health plan, the member’s coverage will be transferred. Benefits will not lapse when the plan is changed from ESP to another HIP health plan.

HIP members have a POWER account of $1100 that will be used to pay for their initial health care expenses. The State will contribute to the account and members pay a small percentage of their income (2% - 5%) according to a sliding scale based on family income. When an application is approved, the new member is notified in writing of the amount of the POWER payment.

Your POWER account payment will stay the same during your 12-month enrollment period unless you report a change and specifically ask that your payment be recalculated. During the 12-month enrollment period, you can request 1 recalculation only for changes in your income. This limitation does not apply to changes in your family size. You must make your POWER account contribution each month.

Failure to pay may result in termination from the program, and once terminated due to failure to pay, a person cannot come back to the program for 1-year.

We ask for the SSNs of family members not applying for HIP for identification purposes; however you are not required to provide the number.

4.Eligibility for benefits is considered without any regard to race, color, sex, age, disability or national origin. We ask about your racial-ethnic heritage to comply with the Federal Civil Right Law; however you are not required to provide this information. If you choose not to provide this information we will indicate an ethnicity/race category for you for data collection purposes.

5.Certain information given on your application, such as your income must be verified. If you cannot get the necessary papers, you will need to sign a release form so that we can get them for you.

6.You must provide accurate information. A person who gives false information or misrepresents the truth is committing a crime and can be prosecuted under federal law or state law, or both. The value of benefits received by a person who was not entitled to receive them is subject to recovery by the State.

7.IF YOU MOVE, please tell us your new address so that important mail about your application and membership will reach you without delay. Also, you must tell us if you get health insurance from another source such as Medicare, or if your employer offers health insurance coverage.

8.The immigration status of non-citizens who are applying for HIP is subject to verification by the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS). Undocumented immigrants and lawful permanent residents who have not yet lived in the U.S. for 5 years are not eligible for full HIP benefits. HIP does not report undocumented immigrants to the CIS.

9.Your rights to payments for medical care are assigned to the State of Indiana if you are found eligible for HIP. This includes rights to medical support and payment for any medical care that you have on behalf of yourself or your children receiving Hoosier Healthwise/Medicaid.

10.If you believe that you have been discriminated against and wish to file a complaint, you may do so by contacting the Department of Health and Human Services, Regional Manager, Region V, Office for Civil Rights, 233 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 240, Chicago, Illinois, 60601. You may call the Regional Office at (800) 368-1019 or, for TDD Call, (800) 537-7697.
