Indiana Medicaid Income Requirements
Indiana offers Medicaid as a form of health insurance coverage for some of its residents. However, not all of those who are interested in receiving Medicaid-related coverage qualify under state regulations. Medicaid coverage is based in part on income, which in turn is based on how one's income measures up against the federal poverty line. Keep in mind, however, that income is not the sole determining factor of Medicaid coverage. Resources, age and overall health play into whether one can receive Medicaid coverage.
