Healthy Indiana Plan

A new health insurance option for uninsured Hoosiers

In order to provide more affordable health insurance to those in need in Indiana, the State of Indiana and Governor Mitch Daniels have developed a new program called the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP), a new insurance option for uninsured Hoosiers.

HIP will provide a $1,100 Personal Wellness Responsibility (POWER) account to each adult enrolled in the plan.  A basic commercial benefit plan will cover medical expenses that exceed the amount provided by the POWER account.  In addition, each participant will receive preventative health services.
