Applying for the Healthy Indiana Plan
When can I apply?
HIP applications are now available online and are now being processed. Plan coverage will be available in January 2008.
Where do I apply?
In addition to printing applications from the internet, applications may also be picked up at various community organizations participating in the V-CAN network, Hoosier Healthwise Enrollment Centers, and the local Division of Family Resources (DFR) office. To find a location near you or to have an application mailed to you call us toll-free at 1-877-GET-HIP-9 (1-877-438-4479).
Completed applications can be submitted to the following address:
FSSA Document Center
PO Box 1630
Marion, IN 46952
How do I apply? What will I need?
The application is separate from other State programs, including Hoosier Healthwise (HHW). Much of the information in the HIP application is similar, but there are new questions related to access to health insurance and health status. You will need to show proof of family income (ex. pay stubs) as well as proof of identity (ex. birth certificate).
What resources are available to assist me with my applications?
You may call us toll-free at 1-877-GET-HIP-9 and speak to a specialist who can answer your questions about the plan and help you complete your application.
In addition, there are a variety of community organizations throughout the State that are involved with HIP. These organizations are knowledgeable resources embedded in your local community to assist in the application process. To find an organization in your community, call us at 1-877-GET-HIP-9.
When can I make my choice of insurance carrier?
All HIP applicants have a choice of two insurance carriers for the HIP program, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and MDwise with AmeriChoice. Click the link below for a comparison of the two carriers.
You will be able to make your plan choice directly on your application, or you can make your plan choice over the phone after your application has been submitted. If you need more information about the two carriers, including what doctors are covered, call toll-free at 1-877-GET-HIP-9. Plan selection counseling is available at any point during the application process. However, if you have not selected a plan by the time the application is approved by the State, you will be randomly assigned to a carrier.
