HIP POWER Account Payments & CHIP Payments

From Covering Kids & Families of Indiana

Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) POWER Account Payments
With continuous enrollment set to end this spring, consumers will need education and information on making any required payments.
  • Consumers pay a fixed monthly payment based on income, with payments ranging from $1 - $20 per month.
  • Smokers pay a surcharge of $0.50 - $10 per month.
  • Payments are made directly to the member’s health plan (Anthem, CareSource, MDwise or MHS).
  • If consumers do not make POWER account payments, they will either be moved from HIP Plus to HIP Basic or lose their coverage all together (if their income is above 100% federal poverty level).
  • HIP Basic does not cover vison, dental or chiropractic services and members must make copayments for many services. Members on HIP Basic will need to wait for their next redetermination to move back into HIP Plus.
Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Payments:
  • Children whose families have income above 158% federal poverty level are required to pay premiums for coverage.
  • Payments range from $22-$53 a month (based on one child).
  • Payments are made to the State and can be done by mail, phone or online.
