Why Hoosiers in Indianapolis Call Vivna

Shopping for health insurance Indianapolis families can afford got harder once enhanced federal tax credits expired. In addition, Indiana regulators approved rate increases of about 16 to 27 percent, depending on the carrier. Cigna is also leaving the Indiana marketplace, along with one other insurer. So many Hoosiers must pick a new plan this Open Enrollment.

Our agency earned a BBB A+ rating and joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Better yet, your first conversation costs nothing at 888-730-6001.

One Agent From Start to Finish

First, a licensed agent learns your budget and your doctors. Then that same agent compares plans and walks you through enrollment.

Marion County Plan Types, Explained

Health insurance Indianapolis households buy usually falls into a few groups. Each one fits a different budget, timeline or health need. Below, you can see how each choice works in Marion County.

ACA Marketplace Plans on HealthCare.gov

Indiana uses HealthCare.gov, the federal Marketplace. These plans cover pre-existing conditions and essential health benefits. In fact, about 9 in 10 Indiana enrollees recently received a premium tax credit.

  • The current enrollment window is November 1 through January 15
  • Choose by December 15 for a January 1 start
  • HSA-eligible bronze plans are now an option

Learn more on our ACA health plans page and in our metal tier comparison.

Gap Coverage: Short-Term and Tri-Term

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

However, neither option is an ACA plan, so pre-existing conditions may be excluded. Compare them on our short-term coverage page and our tri-term plans page.

Coverage Beyond the Medical Plan

Meanwhile, add-on coverage fills gaps that medical plans leave open. Plus, it stays with you if you change jobs.

Healthy Indiana Plan and Hoosier Healthwise

Indiana expanded Medicaid through the Healthy Indiana Plan, or HIP, for adults 19 to 64. However, new federal work rules ask many members to log 80 hours a month of work or approved activities. Meanwhile, Hoosier Healthwise covers children and pregnant members, with small premiums at higher incomes.

Indianapolis Prices and Income Lines

Your price depends on age, income, tobacco use and plan tier. For context, here is where the main income lines fall right now.

IU Health, Community, Eskenazi and Your Network

Networks decide which doctors health insurance Indianapolis patients can actually see. After all, a cheap premium means little if your hospital is out of network. Therefore, we check networks before you enroll.

Indianapolis has several large systems, and each plan includes a different mix. Ask an agent at 888-730-6001 to confirm your doctors before you choose.

IU Health Methodist and Riley Children's

Indiana University Health runs Methodist Hospital and University Hospital near downtown. Riley Hospital for Children also treats kids from across the state. So parents should check Riley by name on any plan.

Eskenazi Health and Community Health Network

Likewise, Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Hospital is a major safety-net hospital for the city. Meanwhile, Community Health Network runs hospitals on the east, north and south sides.

Ascension St. Vincent and Franciscan Health

Ascension St. Vincent Indianapolis anchors the north side. Similarly, Franciscan Health Indianapolis serves the south side and nearby counties.

Confirm Your Providers

Use our carrier network search tools to look up any provider. Next, see how in-network and out-of-network prices differ. Then call 888-730-6001 so we can match health insurance Indianapolis plans to your doctors.

Health Insurance Indianapolis Workers Can Use

Indianapolis runs on life sciences, logistics, health care and government jobs. Yet plenty of residents need health insurance Indianapolis employers do not offer. Contract drivers, temps and new business owners often shop on their own.

Fortunately, each situation has real options. Talk them through with an agent at 888-730-6001.

Warehouse, Airport and Freight Workers

FedEx runs its Express National Hub at Indianapolis International Airport. Amazon also employs thousands across the metro. Still, seasonal and contract roles may lack benefits. Our gig and contract worker guide lays out your choices.

Truck Drivers on the Crossroads

Because Indianapolis grew as a transportation hub, many residents drive for a living. Owner-operators and company drivers can read our truck driver coverage guide for plans that travel with them.

Life Sciences and Lab Professionals

Eli Lilly is the city's largest private employer. When a contract ends or a layoff hits, our guide to coverage between jobs compares COBRA with Marketplace plans.

Race Season and Event Crews

The Indianapolis 500 bills itself as the world's largest single-day sporting event. However, event and hospitality crews often work short seasons. In that case, a short-term or Marketplace plan can bridge the off months.

Coverage That Keeps Up With You

Whatever your work looks like, we can build health insurance Indianapolis coverage around it. Phone 888-730-6001 or compare Marion County prices online.

Health Insurance Indianapolis Q&A

Does HIP cover Indianapolis adults who work hourly jobs?

In many cases. Adults 19 to 64 can qualify with income up to about 138 percent of poverty. However, many members must now show 80 hours a month of work or about $580 in monthly earnings.

Can my child keep Riley Hospital for Children on a Marketplace plan?

Some plans include Riley, while others do not. So check your child's specialists by name before you compare prices.

My Cigna plan is leaving Indiana. What should I do?

Since Cigna is leaving the Indiana marketplace, its members need a new plan. Switching during Open Enrollment avoids a gap. Then an agent can compare replacement plans for your ZIP code.

I lost a warehouse job near the airport. Where do I start?

When job coverage ends, you get 60 days to pick a new plan. Then you can compare COBRA, a Marketplace plan or a short-term plan. Often, the Marketplace plan with tax credits costs the least.

Do Hoosier Healthwise families pay a premium?

Families with lower incomes owe no premium. Still, families with higher incomes may owe a small monthly premium for CHIP coverage.

Where can Marion County families get low-cost shots and WIC?

The Marion County Public Health Department offers immunizations, WIC and a dental van, among other services. In addition, its main number is 317-221-2000.

Do I need to visit an office to work with Vivna?

No. We handle Indiana enrollments entirely by phone and online from our Florida office. As a result, you get licensed help without a drive across town.
