Learn which health coverage program you qualify for
New to the Indiana Medicaid system? Eligibility for Medicaid is mainly based on earned and unearned income (before taxes) and family size. Other factors, like disability status and pregnancy, will also play a part in which Medicaid member group you qualify for.
Note: Medicaid coverage is available, regardless of citizenship status, if you are pregnant or require treatment for an emergency medical condition. A doctor must certify that you are pregnant or had an emergency, and you must meet all other eligibility requirements.
