Indiana HB1100 allows adoptive parents to opt out of Medicaid for their child if they have private insurance.

Indiana HB1100 amends the state's health insurance coverage laws to allow adoptive parents to opt out of Medicaid for their child if the child is also eligible for coverage under the adoptive parent's private health insurance. This bill requires adoptive parents to file a request with the Department of Child Services to make this change. The department must ensure the child is eligible for private insurance and will not experience a coverage lapse during the transition from Medicaid to private insurance. This change takes effect on July 1, 2026.
