Health Insurance for working and low income families




One of the readers of this blog sent me an email and asked if I would post some information about health insurance for children with working parents but no access or financially unable to afford insurance.

The pictures listed here are general information and guidelines on how to qualify for Hoosier Healthwise.

In addition, the main website is here: [Main]

The Application for Food Stamps, Cash Assistance, and Health Coverage can be downloaded and printed out from the following website: http://www.in.gov/fssa/family/forms/index.html

Hoosier Healthwise Helpline toll-free at 1-800-889-9949

In addition, I spoke with a friend at Ricke and Ricke Associates here in New Albany.812-944-4461 and they gave me some additional information.

Families who do not qualify for Hoosier Healthwise, those who do not have insurance through their employers or those who choose to buy something on their own can contact a number of local agents including the one listed here and obtain individual, children only, or family coverage.

The price for family coverage for two parents age 30 and two children with a $500 deductible can range from $200 range to $600 range with an average around $405.

I hope this is helpful for the reader and anyone else that may be struggling with obtaining coverage.
