Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Applauds Federal Regulatory Approval of Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0 for Hoosiers
With HIP 2.0, Anthem Medicaid members in
- HIP Plus: members and the state of
Indiana jointly fund a$2,500 POWER account, which allows members to contribute based on a sliding income scale. This option offers enhanced services such as vision and dental services, comprehensive prescription drug coverage, and includes maternity services with no cost-sharing for the duration of pregnancy. - HIP Basic: requires co-payments for all services, which may exceed the cost of monthly POWER account contributions required in Plus. This option uses an entirely state-funded POWER account to cover a
$2,500 deductible and has more limited benefits with no Dental or Vision coverage. Maternity services are included with no cost-sharing for the duration of pregnancy.
“There is a high level of satisfaction from our members currently enrolled in HIP,” said
Since 2008, HIP has successfully encouraged the use of preventive care and subsequently reduced the use of the emergency room for non-emergency conditions. HIP has empowered members to act as consumers in the health care market and to be proactive in making informed health care choices.
In preparation for the new members Anthem will serve under HIP, the health plan expects to hire more than 200 new associates to serve the anticipated demand. This includes associates who work within customer service, care management and enrollment and billing.
