LAPORTE – CareEnroll, a company which assists consumers enroll in health care plans and maintain coverage, announced June 19 it will expand its LaPorte-headquarters and Fishers-based satellite office.

The company, which was founded in 2015 by Phil Woods, plans to hire up to 197 new workers by the end of 2021, according to the Indiana Economic Development Corp. CareEnroll has hired more than 80 full-time employees since it opened and is now hiring customer service representatives and auditors for its LaPorte and Fishers locations.

According to the IEDC, the company will invest more than $3 million to renovate and update its 14,400-square-foot headquarters at 1900 W. Severs Road in LaPorte. Updating also will include new equipment and software.

The IEDC offered CareEnroll up to $1.5 million in conditional tax credits and up to $100,000 in training grants based on the company’s plan to create new jobs in Indiana. The incentives are performance-based, meaning that until people are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.

LaPorte County also offered workforce development training assistance to the company, IEDC said.
