Program Information
To help meet the medical, behavioral health and social needs of Indiana’s diverse population, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) provides benefits for our Hoosier Healthwise, Healthy Indiana Plan and Hoosier Care Connect members.
Hoosier Healthwise
Hoosier Healthwise (HHW) is Indiana’s health care program for children, pregnant women and low-income families. This program for children and pregnant women includes three different benefit packages:
- Package A is for children and pregnant women.
- Package C is for preventive, primary and acute care services for children under 19 years of age who don’t qualify for Package A.
- Package P is for women who are found to be presumptively eligible (PE) for Medicaid.
See the Anthem Provider Operations Manual for a list of HHW benefits and services. You can find out more online or by calling 1-800-889-9949.
Healthy Indiana Plan
The Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) was created by the Indiana State Legislature to help fund health care benefits for those adults who have traditionally been uninsured. HIP is for individuals aged 19-64. With variations, there are five base plans:
- HIP Plus
- HIP Basic
- HIP State Plan Benefit
- HIP Presumptive Eligibility (PE)
- HIP Maternity offers the same benefits as HHW Package A for pregnant women
HIP Plus is the preferred plan for all HIP members and includes more benefits such as dental and vision. See the Anthem Provider Operations Manual for a list of HIP benefits and services. You can find out more online or by calling 1-877-GET-HIP9 (1-877-438-4479).
Hoosier Care Connect
Hoosier Care Connect is the state’s program for Medicaid-eligible children and adults who have a disability, are blind or are aged 65 or older. Children in foster care, young adults transitioning from foster care, foster care alumni and children receiving adoption assistance may also be eligible. Hoosier Care Connect members cannot be enrolled in Medicare or in a home and community-based services (HCBS) waiver program, or reside in an institutional setting.
Hoosier Care Connect requires coordinated, person-centered care across the delivery system and care continuum with the goal of continued improvement of coordination of care to assist providers in improving quality of care and health outcomes, including improved clinical and functional status, enhanced quality of life, improved member safety, enhanced member autonomy and adherence to treatment plans. See the Anthem Provider Operations Manual for a list of Hoosier Care Connect benefits and services. You can find out more online or by calling 1-866-963-7383.
