Understanding the Unwinding of Medicaid in Indiana: What You Need to Know
The Unwinding of Medicaid, also referred to as the Redetermination Process, is a new and important development affecting individuals in Indiana. As a leading Health Insurance Agency in Northeast Indiana, we are specifically talking to those of you residing in Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Grant, Huntington, Kosciusko, Lagrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley counties. Understanding this process and its implications is crucial to ensure continued access to essential healthcare services. In this blog post, we will explore what the Unwinding is, who it will impact, and what actions you can take.
What is the Unwinding of Medicaid?
The Unwinding of Medicaid refers to the process of reassessing, reevaluating, and redetermining a person's eligibility status for their Indiana Medicaid benefits. It involves reviewing their income and other qualifying factors to determine ongoing eligibility.
Who Does the Unwinding Affect in Indiana?
Technically anyone currently enrolled in one of the Indiana Medicaid Plans (Healthy Indiana Plan, Hoosier Health Wise, and Hoosier Care Connect) could be affected by the Unwinding. However, Indiana approximates that only 25% of its current Medicaid beneficiaries will be affected. That amounts to about 500,000 people! These individuals need to stay informed and proactive during this redetermination process to maintain access to essential healthcare services.
What should you do if you are currently a Medicaid Beneficiary?
Stay Up to Date: If you have not already done so, update your contact information with the state [HERE], and watch your mail. The good news is that most people will not have to go through the redetermination process, but if you are selected, the state will contact you through the mail.
