Medicaid in Indiana: Expanded

Indiana expanded Medicaid in 2015 through a waiver program called HIP (Healthy Indiana Plan) 2.0. HIP 2.0 requires monthly premium contributions from most enrollees — a feature unique to Indiana's expansion.

Benefits in Indiana

Indiana's Medicaid expansion takes the form of HIP Plus (with a small monthly premium) and HIP Basic (no premium, with reduced benefits). Indiana processes SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, and childcare assistance through the FSSA's Division of Family Resources. The state uses a "modernization" model where benefits are primarily managed through phone and online systems rather than in-person offices.

Main agency: Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA)
