Medical Support

Medical coverage provided for a child or children pursuant to an order. This includes: (1) private health insurance, (2) publicly-funded health coverage if a parent is ordered by a court or administrative process to provide cash medical support payments to help pay the cost of Medicaid or State Child Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), (3) cash medical support, including payment of health insurance premiums, and (4) payment of medical bills (including dental or eye care). Indian Health Service and Tricare are acceptable forms of medical support. Medical support may be provided by the custodial parent, noncustodial parent or another person, such as a stepparent.

Question: What does it mean legally to assign my rights to medical support to the state? Ok I have here an application for the Healthy Indiana Plan and I would like to know what it means where I sign; I hereby assign to the state of Indiana, my rights to medical support and payments for medical care which I have on behalf of myself and other persons under this application whose rights I can legally assign. What does this all mean? I do not want to sign anything that I do not fully understand. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Answer: You're giving Indiana the right to pay for your medical care and the medical care of any dependents you might have. That's what you want, right?
