“It’s been a
wonderful year for the health of our state. Since HIP 2.0 was implemented, Indiana
hospitals have seen a significant reduction in the amount of uncompensated care
– while Indiana patients gained an affordable option for health coverage.
HIP 2.0 has led to tremendous gains in patients seeking preventive care at the
right time, in the right place. We firmly believe our state has turned a
corner, and that HIP 2.0 will lead to lasting improvements in the health of
Hoosiers for generations to come.
Since HIP 2.0
was approved, Indiana hospitals have worked tirelessly to educate patients
about the new program. We thank our member hospitals for their efforts, and
thank Governor Pence for his leadership on this critical issue. On behalf of
IHA and our 164 member hospitals across the state, we commend his
administration for their many months of hard work to implement the program.”
