Indiana Plans Federal Waiver to Restore HIP Cost-Sharing for Adult Enrollees
The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration will seek a five-year CMS waiver to reinstate cost-sharing requirements for able-bodied adults enrolled in the Healthy Indiana Plan under a new HIP 3.0 iteration. The waiver would revive a modified version of Indiana's previous copayment model for this population. The timing of the waiver submission and CMS review process has not been specified. This represents a return to Indiana's earlier HIP approach requiring enrollee contributions, which had been modified or suspended under previous waiver terms.
Indiana's waiver request signals renewed state interest in premium and cost-sharing requirements for Medicaid expansion populations, a policy approach that affects enrollment retention and administrative complexity for plans operating HIP.
