There are five HIP plans. Each plan has different benefits.
HIP Plus
HIP Plus has no copayments except for the improper use of the emergency room. This means you won't have to pay when you visit the doctor, fill prescriptions or stay in the hospital. HIP Plus also includes dental and vision benefits. Members in HIP Plus contribute to a Personal Wellness and Responsibility Account (POWER Account). These monthly contributions to your POWER Account may be as low as $1 a month.
HIP State Plus
HIP State Plan Plus is for people who have complex medical conditions, mental health disorders, or a substance use disorder. HIP State Plan Plus gives you more benefits and provides the best value coverage. You will pay a low, predictable monthly cost based on your income. This monthly cost is called your POWER Account contribution.
HIP Basic
HIP Basic offers limited benefits and can be more expensive than paying your low monthly HIP Plus POWER Account contribution. In HIP Basic, you have to make a payment every time you receive a health care service. HIP Basic copayments range from $4-$8 per doctor visit or prescription filled and may be as high as $75 per hospital stay.
HIP State Plan Basic
HIP State Plan Basic is for people who have complex medical conditions, mental health disorders, or a substance use disorder. HIP State Plan Basic offers enhanced benefits such as vision, dental, chiropractic and transportation services. With HIP State Plan Basic, you will need to make a payment called a copayment for most health care services you receive. You will need to pay when you go to the doctor, fill a prescription or stay in the hospital.
HIP Maternity
HIP Maternity Plan is for people who are pregnant and gives them more benefits! You must call FSSA or MDwise as soon as you find out you are pregnant. If you are pregnant when you apply and get accepted to HIP, you’ll automatically be put in the HIP Maternity plan. You will be exempt from cost-sharing and will not lose coverage for change in household situation that would normally result in loss of eligibility. You will receive 12-months of HIP Maternity coverage after your pregnancy ends for post-partum coverage.
