Indiana Medicaid reevaluates Medicaid recipients each year to determine if they are still eligible for Medicaid.
Anyone who is currently in one of Indiana Medicaid’s health coverage programs, including the
Healthy Indiana Plan, Hoosier Healthwise, Hoosier Care Connect or traditional Medicaid, should always be prepared to take action to stay covered.
To help keep you covered, or help you find the right coverage for you and your family, the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration needs all Medicaid members to take these steps to ensure they have current information:
- Go to FSSABenefits.IN.gov
- Scroll down to the blue “Manage Your Benefits” section
- Click on either “Sign in to my account” or “Create account”
- Check that your contact information is accurate
- Call 800-403-0864 if you need assistance
- Watch your mail! Be sure to respond with any request for information
Right to appeal
Medicaid recipients who believe the decision to remove them from Medicaid is incorrect can request an appeal to contest the decision. In general, individuals can keep their Medicaid coverage while the hearing is pending.
People who lose Medicaid eligibility because they no longer meet the requirements for the Medicaid category they applied under may qualify under a different Medicaid category, but only have 13 days to appeal. An appeal can also be made if Medicaid incorrectly assessed an individual’s or family’s income or incorrectly assessed a person’s disability status.
Premium Payments and Power Accounts
Some forms of Medicaid, such as CHIP, MED Works, and HIP 2.0, required either a premium payment or a Power Account contribution prior to the pandemic. Those payments were put on hold during the pandemic and were scheduled to begin again on July 1, 2024. However, a federal court decision has put that on hold. Payments have not resumed at this time.
