What is Indiana Medicaid Program?
The Medicaid Program provides medical benefits to low income individuals without medical insurance or adequate medical insurance. The Federal government establishes general guidelines for the administration of Medicaid benefits. However, specific eligibility requirements to receive Medicaid benefits, as well as the type and scope of services provided, are determined by each individual state. Thus, a person who is eligible for Medicaid in one state may not qualify in another state. You must check with the Medicaid office in the state of Indiana to confirm your eligibility to receive benefits.
Administration
Indiana Medicaid Program is administered by Indiana.
Program Requirements
To be eligible for Indiana Medicaid, you must be a resident of the state of Indiana, a U.S. national, citizen, permanent resident, or legal alien, in need of health care/insurance assistance, whose financial situation would be characterized as low income or very low income. Most non-disabled adults will be covered under the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP).
To be eligible, you must have an annual household income (before taxes) that is below the following amounts:
| Household Size* | Maximum Income Level (Per Year) |
|---|---|
| 1 | $16,971 |
| 2 | $22,930 |
| 3 | $28,888 |
| 4 | $34,846 |
| 5 | $40,805 |
| 6 | $46,763 |
| 7 | $52,722 |
| 8 | $58,680 |
Disabled individuals or those living in a Medicaid-certified institution may have higher income limits and are subject to an asset limit.
Some categories require the payment of a monthly premium or contribution based on family size and income.
A disregard of 5% of the annual Federal Poverty Limit will be applied to family income for the Healthy Indiana Plan.
