Applicants should note that HIP will NEVER ask for your checking account or credit card numbers. Should you receive a call from someone claiming to be from the State of Indiana or HIP, hang up and do NOT release this information. If you have questions about eligibility or your HIP application, please call 1-877-GET-HIP9 (1-877-438-4479).
To report a potential scam, please contact the Attorney General's Office at http://www.indianaconsumer.com/ or call 1-800-382-5516. Any information you may obtain from the caller including a phone number, without releasing any information of your own, will assist with potential investigations.
HIP or other Health Coverage Program - which one am I eligible for?
Indiana residents under the age of 65 who are blind or disabled may be eligible to receive health coverage under Indiana's Medicaid program. A person who is determined by the State Medicaid Medical Review Team to be disabled for at least the next12 months can be be eligible for Medicaid if income and asset guidelines are met.
Families with children and pregnant women who meet financial guidelines are eligible for health coverage under Hoosier Healthwise. For example, if you earn below $288 a month for a family of three, are a parent or caretaker of a child who lives with you, and have assets below $1,000, you may be eligible for our health coverage program without paying a premium or other required monthly payment. Additional benefits are available such as dental and vision services. For more information about Hoosier Healthwise, click the button on the left side of the page.
The HIP plan covers individuals who do not live with a dependent child, and parents who earn up to approximately $44,000 annually for a family of four, have been uninsured for six months and do not have access to insurance through their employer. There is no asset test. HIP may require you to pay a small monthly fee based on the amount of your income. HIP does not cover vision, dental or maternity services.
If you think you may be eligible for any of our other health coverage programs for low-income families, pregnant women, persons with disabilities, and persons who are blind, you will need to submit the health coverage application. Find out how to apply: http://www.in.gov/fssa/2954.htm. The HIP application will only assess eligibility for HIP and is not used to assess eligibility for other programs.
