The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) is proposing changes to the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP), the health coverage program for many adults who qualify for Medicaid in Indiana.
The proposed program, called HIP 3.0, would continue health coverage for eligible adults while making some changes, including:
- Copayments for some services.
- Lower copayments for people who complete preventive care and other healthy activities.
- Other program changes intended to support the long-term sustainability of HIP.
At this time, these are proposed changes only and have not yet been approved by the federal government.
Have Questions or Opinions?
FSSA is asking Indiana residents, families, advocates, and community members to review the proposal and share feedback.
Public comment period: August 5 through September 4, 2026.
The state will also host a public hearing on:
- August 11, 2026, 10:00am-11:00am EST
Written comments can be submitted through September 4, 2026 by email to HIP@fssa.IN.gov or by mail at:

Attention: Secretary E. Mitchell (Mitch) Roob

Important Note for Families
Although FSSA's announcement uses the word "waiver," it is about the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) health insurance program for adults and is not related to Indiana's Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver programs that many families in our community use. This distinction is based on the proposal's focus on HIP adult Medicaid expansion coverage.
