31263127 Health Insurance Premium Payment ProgramRevision 21-118-2; Effective May 1, 2021September 3, 2018?The Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) program is a Medicaid program that reimburses eligible individuals for their share of an employer-sponsored HIPP. The state pays for copayments and deductibles for Medicaid-covered services provided by Medicaid providers. HIPP individuals also can receive Medicaid benefits (provided by a Medicaid-enrolled provider) not covered by their employer-sponsored health insurance.In order to qualify for HIPP, an employee must either be Medicaid eligible or have a family member who is Medicaid eligible. The reimbursement may pay for individuals and their family members to receive employer-sponsored health insurance benefits when it is determined the cost of insurance premiums and administration are less than the cost of projected Medicaid expenditures.Individuals who participate in the HIPP program may participate in STAR+PLUS and remain enrolled in HIPP. ................
