What changes in Indiana for 2027?
Smaller marketplace savings
The extra savings that started in 2021 ended after 2025. For 2027, people who qualify pay between 2.15% and 10.22% of household income for the benchmark silver plan, and households above 400% of the federal poverty level get no premium tax credit.
Medicaid work requirements
Federal law requires states that expanded Medicaid to start work requirements by January 1, 2027. Most expansion adults ages 19 to 64 must show 80 hours a month of work, school, job training or volunteering unless they qualify for an exemption, such as being pregnant, having a disability or being the parent of a child 13 or younger.
Medicare plan changes
Medicare's annual enrollment period runs October 15 to December 7, 2026. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you can switch again from January 1 to March 31, 2027.
