For Black families
Roughly 225,000 Black residents are enrolled in Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP), per the most recent CMS T-MSIS analytic file. The number understates true eligibility: every state has Black eligibles who aren't currently enrolled, usually because of the administrative-churn rates that rose sharply during the 2023 unwinding.
Indiana's HIP 2.0 waiver uses a POWER account, beneficiaries above 100% FPL pay monthly contributions. SB 132 (2023) required the Family and Social Services Administration to study doula reimbursement; a State Plan Amendment is pending CMS approval as of 2025.
