How does LaHIPP work?
People who have Medicaid and can get health insurance from a job may qualify for LaHIPP. Other people in the home who can join the health plan could also qualify. LaHIPP will send the family a letter, an application for LaHIPP, and a copy of the Employer Health Insurance Information Form that must be filled out by a human resource representative where the adult in the family works. After getting this information, the LaHIPP program looks at how much it would cost to join the health plan. If this is less than what Medicaid would pay for medical services for the person on Medicaid, then LaHIPP will pay some or all of the cost of the insurance from the job.
