Exploring Affordable Health Coverage in Indiana
You can look for cheap health insurance in Indiana. But as we all know, the policies with the lowest monthly payments (your insurance Premium) may not be your best option.
The REAL price of health coverage depends on many variables. Deductibles and copays increase costs and Tax relief on your premiums, state insurance subsidies and discounts on your medical supplies can LOWER your medical expenses. A premium might look high at first, but the total amount you spend on medical services could be much lower!
If you qualify for Medicare, you should explore the Medicare add-on plans. Indiana has many options. About 19% of the population has enrolled in Medicare, and of those, 28% participate in a Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare Advantage and Medicare supplemental plans could save you a LOT of money.
10 Health Services Mandated for all ACA Compliant Plans
Before the Affordable Care Act, insurers could refuse to cover various health benefits, resulting in overwhelming debt for many.
The ACA fixed those loopholes and mandated that all ACA-qualifying plans include these coverages:
- Emergency services
- Prescription drugs
- Ambulatory patient services (hospital services that don’t need an overnight stay)
- Hospitalization
- Laboratory services
- Maternity and newborn care
- Pediatric services (for children), including dental and vision care
- Mental health and substance abuse services
- Preventive and wellness services, including chronic disease management
- Rehabilitative/habilitative services and devices
The Coronavirus Pandemic, COVID-19 Testing, and the FFCRA
COVID-19 is the hot topic health insurance issue in Indiana. If you lose your health insurance due to COVID-19 or your employer closed because of the Coronavirus, testing is available at no charge. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) passed in March 2020, ensures that everyone can receive COVID-19 testing.

Indiana utilizes a federally facilitated health insurance exchange. This Exchange does not regulate short term health insurance plans. While short term plans have their usefulness, they are NOT bound by the Affordable Care Act mandates and are NOT eligible for premium tax relief.
Indiana is not involved in the attempt to invalidate the ACA. The case is currently before the courts and any ruling probably will not affect your 2021 the health insurance plans.
