Hoosier Healthwise is a health care program for low-income families, pregnant women, and children in the state of Indiana.  Hoosier Healthwise is a federally-approved program administered by the Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning (OMPP) and the Office of the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP office) of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (IFSSA).

 The design and goals of the program are to ensure access to primary and preventative health care services, improve access to care, and encourage quality and continuity of care.  In order to meet these goals, upon determination of eligibility, a member must select a Primary Medical Provider (PMP).  The member will then also be enrolled in the network of the PMP.  The networks within Hoosier Healthwise are Anthem, Managed Health Services, and MDwise.  The PMP and network will be responsible for coordinating the health care service needs of their members.
