Could you or someone you know benefit from HIP 2.0? This program could provide health coverage for up to 10,000 eligible residents in Reid's service area.
Of the estimated more than 25,000 uninsured people in the Reid service area, up to half or more of them could be eligible for HIP 2.0. The plan pays for medical expenses and provides incentives for members to be more health conscious, according to the state HIP web site. Generally, coverage is for qualified low-income Hoosiers ages 19 to 64 with incomes of up to $17,443 a year for an individual, $23,615 for a couple or $35,960 for a family of four.
HIP participants also need to be up-to-date on the new Gateway to Work program. Gateway to Work is a part of the Healthy Indiana Plan that connects HIP members with ways to look for work, train for jobs, finish school and volunteer. Starting in 2019, some HIP members are required to do Gateway to Work activities to keep HIP benefits.
