Eligibility:

• Adults who are US citizens, legal immigrants or qualified non-citizens;

• Between the ages of 19 and 64;
• Below 200% of the federal poverty level;
• Do not qualify for group coverage through an employer sponsored plan, Medicare, or Medicaid;

Enrollment will be limited for this first come, first served program. HIP will serve up to a maximum of 130,000 among whom no more than 34,000 will be adults with no children under the age of 18 in the home. There are an estimated 562,000 adult Hoosiers who are eligible to participate in HIP.

Your organization can help by:

• Providing program information to employees who are potentially eligible.
• Setting up payroll deductions to ensure eligible employees' monthly contributions are received by the insurer (participants who fail to pay for 60 days are disqualified for 12 months.)
• Paying up to 50% of the cost for eligible employees to participate;
• The cost to the employer would be paid annually.
• The maximum cost to the employer would be no more than $550 per year depending upon the household size and annual income of the participating employee.
• Employers who sponsor health benefit plans can pay up to 50% of the cost of any employees who do not qualify for employer sponsored benefits (example: part-time employees.)
• Providing a financial incentive for outsource contractors to pay 50% of the cost for those contract employees working at the employers' worksite.
• (Employer participation should help the employer with employee retention.)
