Coverage Paths for Fort Wayne Households

Health insurance Fort Wayne residents carry usually falls into one of five buckets. Since each bucket serves a different need, your choice depends on income, health and timing. Here is how each works in Allen County.

HealthCare.gov Plans for Allen County

Indiana residents enroll through HealthCare.gov. Every plan there covers pre-existing conditions and core benefits. Better yet, about 9 in 10 Indiana enrollees recently got a premium tax credit.

  • Enrollment currently runs from November 1 through January 15
  • Select a plan by December 15 to start January 1
  • Lawfully present immigrants face new tax credit limits

UnitedHealthcare Short-Term and Tri-Term Plans

UnitedHealthcare short-term plans can cover a short gap. In Indiana, short-term terms run 1 month up to 364 days; ask an agent for options. Similarly, UnitedHealthcare tri-term plans can cover a longer one. In Indiana, TriTerm Medical offers three 364-day terms with one application; premiums may change each term.

Neither is an ACA plan, though, so pre-existing conditions may be excluded. Learn more on our short-term plans page and tri-term plans page.

Dental, Vision, Life and Supplemental

Add-on plans help with bills that medical coverage skips. Even better, they move with you between employers.

HIP and Hoosier Healthwise Income Limits

Indiana runs two main programs for lower-income residents. For instance, HIP covers adults, while Hoosier Healthwise covers children and pregnant members.

ProgramWho it coversApproximate income limit
Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP)Adults 19 to 64138% FPL, about $22,026 for one person
Hoosier Healthwise (Medicaid)Children under 19About 158% FPL
Hoosier Healthwise (CHIP)Children under 19About 250% FPL, small monthly premium
Pregnancy coveragePregnant membersAbout 208% FPL

Health Insurance Fort Wayne FAQ

Below are health insurance Fort Wayne questions our agents hear most. For statewide topics, open our Indiana coverage questions library. Or call 888-730-6001 on weekdays.

Can I keep both Parkview and Lutheran doctors on one plan?

Sometimes, but not always. Some networks include both systems, while others include one. So list your doctors before you compare prices.

What happens to my coverage during a GM layoff?

Losing job-based coverage opens a 60-day Special Enrollment Period. Then you can compare COBRA with a Marketplace plan and its tax credits.

Do Hoosier Healthwise kids in Allen County pay premiums?

Lower-income families pay nothing. However, families with higher incomes may pay a small monthly CHIP premium.

Is a short-term plan smart between contract jobs?

It can be, for brief gaps. Still, short-term plans may exclude pre-existing conditions, so Marketplace coverage is safer for longer stretches.

Can refugee and immigrant families get help in Allen County?

Yes. The Allen County Department of Health offers refugee and immigrant health services. Also, tax credit rules depend on immigration status, so an agent can review yours.

Where can I get low-cost shots and screenings in Fort Wayne?
