It stands for Health Insurance Premium Payment program. This program is available to families that currently have children or other family members on medicaid. If they have insurance available through their employer this program will reimburse them for their premiums on a monthly basis. With each case the insurance plan that is available is evaluated and if it is cost effective the family will be approved for premium payment assistance. Each month they have to submit their pay stubs showing the amounts they have paid for health insurance and they will receive a check for the amount paid. The state can afford to do this because if other insurance is available to medicaid recipients health providers must bill them first, so ultimately the program saves the state money.
The Alaska HIPP program will reimburse people who have children or family members currently on medicaid if they are providing health insurance through a private insurance company or an employers plan. They must submit proof (pay stubs) of how much medical premiums they paid for on a monthly basis. After applying to the program the insurance will be evaluated by the program to deem if it is cost effective and only if it is cost effective will the program reimburse participants. Ultimately this program will reduce the cost of medicaid on the state/gov't.
The eligibility for the HIPP (Health Insurance Premium Payment) program varies by state. Some states may allow individuals with Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, to participate in the HIPP program, while others may not. It is best to contact your state's Medicaid office or HIPP program directly to determine your specific eligibility.
