HIP

Indiana says its Medicaid expansion program may be at risk along with the health insurance coverage of thousands of people.

Plaintiffs rejected a state motion to reinstate its authority to impose premium-like charges on Medicaid beneficiaries under the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP).

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration said unless a recent federal ruling is halted, the agency will have to transition HIP Plus members to different packages that don't include better coverage.

Medicaid members on the Healthy Indiana Plan, or HIP, will not have monthly payments for the foreseeable future.
