Indiana Health Insurance - The Individual Market
In Indiana, health insurance companies can deny applications because of your health status and other factors such as pre-existing conditions. Because there are certain factors that companies look for when accepting applications for health insurance coverage, it is important that you do plenty of research when looking for the health care plan that best fits your lifestyle and needs. Currently in Indiana, the number of uninsured non-elderly adults (age 19-64) has reached 676,680 about 18% of the population. For individual health coverage, the worker’s portion of annual premiums rose from $446 to $737, an increase of 65% from 2000-2006 according to familiesusa.org.

Although these statistics may seem overwhelming, Indiana has three basic options for individual health insurance coverage that makes obtaining health care possible. Residents of Indiana may receive private health insurance purchased directly from a company, receive health care from the Comprehensive Health Insurance Pool or through Income-eligible programs. Medical underwriting which is the process a health insurance company goes through to assess the health status of individuals and use information to determine if the insurance company wants to accept an application is allowed in the state of Indiana because companies determine an applicant’s states because of previous health conditions. In Indiana, there is a 12 month look back period for pre-existing conditions before purchasing coverage and before coverage begins. Health Insurance companies cannot exclude coverage because of pre-existing conditions for more than 12 months. In Indiana, there is a high risk pool called the Indiana Comprehensive Health Insurance Association which became operational in 1982. ICHIA offers coverage to individuals who are unable to purchase an individual health insurance policy because they have pre-existing health conditions. You must apply for individual coverage and be rejected by at least one health insurance company before you become eligible got ICHIA unless you are HIPPA-eligible. People who are fall under the category of HIPPA-eligible include those people who have had at least 18 months of continuous creditable coverage and those people who have exhausted all COBRA continuation coverage which was available according to www.healthinsurance.about.com.

Group insurance is typically offered through employers, although unions, professional associations, and other organizations also offer group insurance.

Regarding pre-existing conditions, the health insurance company may look back in a consumer’s medical history in the past 6 months prior to coverage and can exclude coverage for up to 9 months based on your health status. The average monthly premium for group and small business health insurance in Indiana in 2006 was $314 for single coverage, but can depend on the employer contribution and $823 for family coverage according to AHIP, The Center for Policy and Research.
