IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE HEALTHY INDIANA PLAN

Keep this information for your records. Do not send it in with your application.

Benefits under the Plan

HIP provides health insurance coverage to eligible adults. Enrolled members keep their HIP benefits for 12 continuous months even if income or family size changes. Members must live in Indiana and have no other access to health insurance coverage. Benefits are provided through private health insurance companies and also the State’s Enhanced Services Plan (ESP) for members who have complex medical needs. You can choose your health plan on the first page of the application, or you can call the HIP Line at 1-877-GET-HIP-9 (1-877-438-4479) to get further information about the plan and to register your choice. If you don’t select a health plan, one will be chosen for you. Members with complex health care needs will be assigned to the ESP so that enhanced disease management services and specialized networks can be accessed. An applicant’s health condition has no bearing on the HIP eligibility decision. If FSSA determines that the ESP is not the appropriate health plan, the member’s coverage will be transferred. Benefits will not lapse when the plan is changed from ESP to another HIP health plan.

HIP members have a POWER account of $1100 that will be used to pay for their initial health care expenses. The State will contribute to the account and members pay a small percentage of their income (2% - 5%) according to a sliding scale based on family income. When an application is approved, the new member is notified in writing of the amount of the POWER payment.

Your POWER account payment will stay the same during your 12-month enrollment period unless you report a change and specifically ask that your payment be recalculated. During the 12-month enrollment period, you can request 1 recalculation only for changes in your income. This limitation does not apply to changes in your family size. You must make your POWER account contribution each month.

Failure to pay may result in termination from the program, and once terminated due to failure to pay, a person cannot come back to the program for 1-year.

What You Should Know About This Form

What is the purpose of the Indiana 53421 form?

The Indiana 53421 form, officially titled "Application for Healthy Indiana Plan," is designed for uninsured adults, aged 19 through 64, to apply for health coverage under the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP). The form requires applicants to provide personal details, including household composition, income information, and any health-related conditions that may affect eligibility. Proper completion of this form allows individuals to receive necessary health coverage if they qualify based on the provided information.

Who should complete the Indiana 53421 form?

The form is intended for adults who do not have health insurance. It is not applicable for children or pregnant women. Those interested in health coverage for children or pregnant women should contact the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) to request a different application specific to those groups, namely the Hoosier Healthwise application. The form must be filled out by individuals who are seeking health coverage for themselves, including necessary demographic and financial information.

What information is required on the Indiana 53421 form?

Applicants must provide several details to complete the Indiana 53421 form. Key information includes personal identification such as name, date of birth, and Social Security number. Additionally, applicants need to identify all adults and children living in the household, their relationship to the applicant, and their citizenship status. Financial information such as income levels, employer information, and any other benefits received should also be reported. The application includes questions related to medical history, which help determine eligibility for specific health coverage plans under HIP.

What happens after submitting the Indiana 53421 form?

Once the form is submitted via mail, fax, or in person, the information will be reviewed by the FSSA. It is important for applicants to respond promptly to any requests for additional information or documentation that may arise during the processing of their application. If the application is approved, individuals will be enrolled in one of the available health plans, and they will receive further details regarding their coverage options and benefits.

Common mistakes

Filling out the Indiana 53421 form, or Application for Healthy Indiana Plan, can be straightforward if you avoid common mistakes. One typical error is not providing a Social Security Number. The form explicitly states that disclosing your Social Security Number is mandatory. Failing to include it will result in your application not being processed.

Another frequent mistake is neglecting to mark your health plan selection. If you skip marking a box next to your chosen plan, it causes delays in enrollment. Furthermore, not signing the application can halt the entire process. Ensure that you sign your name on page 4, question 13, as this step is crucial.

People often make errors regarding household information. It's essential to provide accurate data for all adult members living in your household. Missing or incorrect information about family members can lead to further complications. Each family member’s relationship to the applicant must also be clear to avoid confusion.

A common oversight occurs when applicants misinterpret the health screening questions. Inaccurately answering these questions, or failing to provide clear answers, may affect eligibility for the Enhanced Services Plan. Review these questions carefully before submitting your form.

Some applicants incorrectly state their living arrangements. If any applicants do not reside in Indiana, you must answer “No” to the question about Indiana residency. Providing incorrect residency information can lead to outright disqualification from the program.

Income reporting is another area where mistakes happen. Ensure that you clearly indicate total earnings without neglecting any sources of income. Omitting income details can lead to significant errors in evaluating eligibility and might stall the application.

Finally, not including required supporting documents is a frequent misstep. When submitting the form, include any requested proof of identity, income, or immigration status. A missing document can delay processing and may result in a need for resubmission.

Documents used along the form

The Indiana 53421 form, known as the Application for Healthy Indiana Plan, serves as a crucial document for individuals seeking health coverage in Indiana. Along with the Indiana 53421 form, several other forms and documents may be necessary to ensure a comprehensive application process. Here’s an overview of some commonly associated documents.

Hoosier Healthwise Application - This application is intended for children and pregnant women who are seeking health coverage under Indiana's Medicaid program. It ensures that families can access necessary healthcare services for their dependents.
Proof of Identity Documents - Applicants must submit documents to confirm their identity, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. These documents help verify the applicant's identity and eligibility for the program.
Income Verification Documents - Pay stubs or tax returns may be necessary to establish the household income level. This information is crucial in determining eligibility for the Healthy Indiana Plan.
Immigration Status Documentation - Non-citizens must provide proof of their immigration status, such as an alien registration card or permanent resident card. This documentation helps determine eligibility for specific health coverage options.
Guardianship Documents - If someone is applying on behalf of another individual, a Power of Attorney or similar legal document must be provided. This ensures that the representative has the authority to complete the application process.

Gathering and submitting these documents along with the Indiana 53421 form can streamline the application process. Being thorough and organized will significantly enhance the likelihood of timely approval for health coverage.

Misconceptions

Misconception 1: The Indiana 53421 form is applicable for children and pregnant women.

This form is specifically designed for adults aged 19 to 64. For children and pregnant women, a different application called the Hoosier Healthwise application must be requested by contacting 1-877-GET HIP9 (1-877-438-4479).

Misconception 2: All health plan selections are available to applicants on the Indiana 53421 form.

While applicants can indicate their preferred health plan, not all plans may be available in every situation. Upon approval of the application, each applicant will be enrolled in one of the health plans based on eligibility criteria and availability.

Misconception 3: Providing a Social Security Number is optional on the Indiana 53421 form.

In fact, the disclosure of a Social Security Number is mandatory for processing. This requirement is in accordance with specific state laws. Not providing this information will result in the inability to process the application.

Misconception 4: Completing the health screening questions is not essential for application approval.

The health screening questions are crucial. They determine whether the applicant qualifies for the Enhanced Services Plan, which offers coordinated medical care for those with specialized health care needs. All health screening questions must be answered to consider the application complete.

Key takeaways

Ensure you fill out the Indiana 53421 form completely. Missing information can delay processing.
