Indiana proposed to use its Healthy Indiana insurance plan as a Medicaid alternative. Healthy Indiana covers 42,000 state residents, and it requires enrollees to pay a small amount in order to receive certain preventive care, the report said.
CMS did not know if Indiana’s current program would satisfy all provisions of the Medicaid expansion, but officials for Healthy Indiana said they need ample time to know if the program should be enlarged or dismantled altogether.
