Healthy Indiana Plan

HIP > Apply for HIP Applying for the Healthy Indiana Plan

The HIP Application Process

The application process for the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) is separate from other state programs, including Hoosier Healthwise (HHW). Much of the information in the HIP application is similar, but there are new questions related to access to health insurance and health status. To determine if you are potentially eligible for HIP, you may complete the Screen for Services.

    You will be able to make your plan choice directly on your application, or you can make your plan choice over the phone after your application has been submitted. If you need more information about any of the carriers, including what doctors are covered, call toll-free at 1-877-GET-HIP-9.

    Counseling on plan selection is available at any point during the application process. However, if you have not selected a plan by the time your application is approved by the state, you will be randomly assigned to one of the three insurance carriers.
