Indiana's state-run medical savings account program for low-income adults has opened up 5,000 more slots for people without children.
The federal government has told the state that its Healthy Indiana Plan can enroll no more than 34,000 childless adults. The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration closed off the program to those adults earlier this year when it reached capacity. Thousands of people have been on a waiting list.
FSSA says the additional slots have been created by people dropping out of the program. It creates a medical savings account worth $1,100 a year, and when medical costs exceed that amount, benefits of at least $300,000. It also provides some free health services.
