INDIANAPOLIS — Officials from Governor Mike Pence’s administration were in Mishawaka to detail the Governor’s plan to expand the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) to cover approximately 350,000 more Hoosiers. Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center (SJRMC) will host “a conversation about the future of health care in Indiana” featuring State Health Commissioner William VanNess, M.D., and the Governor’s Health Policy Advisor Brian Neale.
Governor Pence announced his plans to advance private, market-based Medicaid reforms in Indiana by expanding the current Healthy Indiana Plan. Pence unveiled HIP 2.0, a consumer-driven health care coverage program for low-income adults that builds on Indiana’s history of consumer-driven health care while providing new incentives for members to take personal responsibility for their health.
