1620.72.00 CHILDREN'S HEALTH PLAN (MED 3)

Official source

This category of Hoosier Healthwise is designated as MA 10 on IEDSS. Effective January 1, 2000, comprehensive medical coverage, under an eligibility expansion funded through the federal Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), is available to Indiana children under the age of 19.29 Under this category, also known as Package C, the income limit was 200% of the federal poverty guidelines at implementation and increased to 250% of the federal poverty guidelines, as of October 1, 2008. (Refer to IHCPPM Section 3010.30.00.) There are no resource requirements. Coverage is provided only to children who are ineligible for all other categories of Hoosier Healthwise. MA 10 is, therefore, last in the IEDSS Medical Hierarchy. Please note, however, that a child who fails MA 9, but who would be eligible for MA D or MA B, could receive MA 10, if otherwise eligible. (Refer to IHCPPM Section 2035.30.10). Unlike the other Hoosier Healthwise categories, MA 10 has cost-sharing requirements. There are premiums that must be paid as a condition of enrollment and ongoing eligibility, and there are co-payments for some services. Retroactive coverage is not available under this category. Coverage begins with the month of application. (Refer to IHCPPM Section 2035.60.00.)
