   Indianapolis Nonprofit Hosts Sessions on HIP Work Requirements

   Shepherd Community Center will hold information sessions on Oct. 28 and Nov. 7 to help Healthy Indiana Plan enrollees understand the state's new Medicaid work requirements. Starting in January 2027, HIP enrollees ages 19-64 must document at least 80 hours per month of work, volunteering or schooling, or qualify for an exemption, to keep coverage. The free, no-registration sessions in Indianapolis will offer drop-in help with reporting hours and using the state's screening tool, with limited on-site laptops available. Indiana's Family and Social Services Administration estimates roughly 58,000 Hoosiers could lose Medicaid coverage next year for not meeting the requirements.

   Why it mattersHIP enrollees who fail to document compliance risk losing Medicaid coverage starting in 2027, making community outreach and reporting assistance critical to limiting disenrollment.

    Indiana Projects 58,000 Could Lose HIP Coverage Over Work Rules

    Indiana officials estimate more than 58,000 of the roughly 487,000 enrollees in the Healthy Indiana Plan could lose coverage in 2027 for failing to meet new Medicaid work requirements, according to a state news release reported by Mirror Indy. Starting January 2027, HIP members must document at least 80 hours per month of work, volunteering, school or apprenticeship activity, or meet an income threshold, unless they qualify for an exemption such as pregnancy, caregiving, medical frailty or recent incarceration. The requirements stem from state legislation this year and align with federal work-requirement provisions in the "One Big Beautiful Bill." Advocates warn that despite data showing about 70% of Indiana Medicaid adults already work, documentation burdens and reporting confusion could cause eligible people to lose coverage due to paperwork errors rather than actual noncompliance.

    Why it mattersState Medicaid agencies and HIP managed care plans must prepare eligibility systems, member communications and appeals processes for mass coverage disruptions when reporting begins in 2027.
