Medicaid does not have premiums. However, there is often a co-pay for services. Also, many Medicaid recipients must "spend down" excess income/assets. Spend down is the amount one must incur in medical expenses (paid or unpaid) before Medicaid eligibility begins. It is the difference between one's non-exempt income and assets and the income and asset standards in one's State - e.g., non-exempt income = $800/month/non-exempt assets = 0; State income standard = $700/month; spend down = $100.

Does the Alaska HIPP program pay private health insurance for participants?
The Alaska HIPP program will reimburse people who have children or family members currently on medicaid if they are providing health insurance through a private insurance company or an employers plan. They must submit proof (pay stubs) of how much medical premiums they paid for on a monthly basis. After applying to the program the insurance will be evaluated by the program to deem if it is cost effective and only if it is cost effective will the program reimburse participants. Ultimately this program will reduce the cost of medicaid on the state/gov't.
