Abstract: The state of Indiana expanded Medicaid February 1, 2015, using a Section 1115 waiver in which the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services granted permission to Indiana to charge beneficiaries a monthly premium based on income, charge copayments for nonemergency use of the emergency department, and provide financial incentives for healthy behavior.1 We have limited information comparing Medicaid enrollment in states with Section 1115 waivers to states that implemented the full version of Medicaid.2,3 The objective of this study was to evaluate how the use of a Section 1115 waiver in Indiana to expand Medicaid was associated with Medicaid enrollment compared with Medicaid expansion states that did not use a waiver.
