2027 marketplace changes in Indiana

Which insurance companies are leaving the Indiana marketplace in 2027

Who is leaving, what's left in your county, and what to do before the deadline. Last checked October 5, 2026.

The short answer

Two insurance companies are leaving the Indiana marketplace for 2027.

  • CareSource (confirmed). The Indiana Department of Insurance says CareSource Indiana will not offer plans on the individual marketplace for 2027. In 2026 it sold marketplace plans in 92 of Indiana's 92 counties. source
  • Cigna (confirmed). Cigna is leaving the individual market in Indiana on January 1, 2027, on and off the marketplace, as part of the nationwide exit it announced in April 2026. In 2026 it sold marketplace plans in 15 of Indiana's 92 counties. source

Altogether, 92 of Indiana's 92 counties lose at least one marketplace insurer. In 7 of them, only one marketplace insurer is left.

What this means in Indiana

Hi, I'm Sam Jaber, a licensed broker, and Indiana is one of my 36 states. Indiana is one of the hardest-hit states I've looked at for 2027. CareSource is leaving the Indiana marketplace, and it sold plans in every county. Cigna is leaving too, and it sold in Indianapolis and the counties around it, plus Kokomo, Evansville and the southwest corner. Every Indiana county loses at least one company.

Most of the state lands on two marketplace insurers. Indianapolis feels it sharply: Marion County goes from four companies to two. Five counties near Indianapolis, Boone, Hancock, Johnson, Henry and Madison, keep three.

Where you're left with one company

Seven southern Indiana counties near Louisville are where this gets serious: Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Crawford, Jefferson, Scott and Washington. Jeffersonville, New Albany, Corydon and Madison all sit in that stretch. After CareSource goes, Ambetter is the only marketplace company there. If the marketplace moves you automatically, it has exactly one company to move you to, so check that your doctors, and any Louisville hospital you rely on, are in that one network before December 15.

Some Hoosiers are on their second forced move. Aetna stopped selling Indiana marketplace plans for 2026. Anyone who moved to a CareSource or Cigna plan after that has to move again.

No marketplace PPO, but you still have one option

Indiana's marketplace sold no PPO plans in 2026, so nothing here takes a PPO away from you. But you can still get a PPO. If you're healthy and pay full price, a private nationwide PPO through me is worth pricing, especially in a county where the marketplace has narrowed to one or two networks. If your income qualifies for the credit, stay on the marketplace and choose carefully.

What's left in your county

These are the 92 Indiana counties where at least one marketplace insurer is leaving. For each one you can see who's leaving, how many marketplace insurers are left, and which ones.

Down to one insurer: Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Jefferson, Scott and Washington counties are left with only Ambetter (Centene) on the marketplace.

The Indiana marketplace had no PPO plans in 2026, so none of the exits takes a PPO away; you just have fewer HMO, EPO and similar plans to pick from.

County data: CMS 2026 marketplace plan data source. Insurers are counted by company, and the table uses each company's 2026 service area, so a company that enters or expands for 2027 isn't counted yet. I'll update it when the 2027 plan list publishes in late October.

Other changes you may have read about

A few other names come up in the news about this. Here's where each one actually stands.

  • Aetna left the individual marketplace in Indiana for 2026, when CVS Health exited the individual exchange business where Aetna ran its own ACA plans. source

What happens to your plan

When an insurance company leaves, your plan doesn't stop overnight. It runs through December 31, 2026, and the company has to tell you in writing first. Federal rules require at least 90 calendar days notice when a company drops a plan, and at least 180 calendar days when it leaves a state's individual market entirely. If your company is leaving and you haven't seen that letter, call the company and ask for it.

What happens next is the part people get wrong. If no plan from your company is left on the marketplace, the federal rule (45 CFR 155.335) says the marketplace may move you to a plan from a different company. It doesn't say it will. The move has to fit state law, it follows the state regulator's direction, and without that direction the marketplace picks a "similar" plan. Nothing in that rule checks your doctors or your prescriptions.

If you bought your plan straight from the company, off the marketplace, the marketplace's re-enrollment rule doesn't reach you at all. You need to pick a new plan yourself.

Open enrollment on HealthCare.gov starts November 1. By then you should get 2 letters: one from your current company and one from the marketplace. The marketplace letter tells you which plan, if any, you'll be moved into if you do nothing by December 15. HealthCare.gov is plain that in some cases you won't be automatically re-enrolled.

Pick by December 15 and your new plan starts January 1. Pick between December 16 and January 15 and it starts February 1, which leaves January uncovered if your old plan ended December 31.

Miss open enrollment and you may still have a way in. Losing a plan because it's discontinued is on HealthCare.gov's list of qualifying events, and the federal rule gives you 60 days before and 60 days after the day your old coverage ends to pick a new plan. Don't build your plan around that window. Confirm you qualify before you count on it.

What to do now

Here's how I'd think about it, depending on where you are. Each path ends the same way: a call with me before the deadline.

Scenario 1 of 2

Your income qualifies you for help with the premium

If your household income qualifies you for the premium tax credit, the marketplace is usually where your most affordable coverage is, because that's the only place the credit can be used. So don't let the marketplace pick for you. Re-shop before December 15, look at every company still selling in your county, and check your doctors and prescriptions against the network of the plan you choose, not the one you had.

Scenario 2 of 2

You pay full price and you're healthy

If you earn too much for the credit, you're paying the full marketplace price, and now you're paying it for whatever is left in your county. You have another option. Private plans with medical underwriting run on nationwide PPO networks and are priced on your health, which is how the price for a healthy person can come in under the marketplace's full rate. They ask health questions up front, and the company can decline you or leave out a past condition, so we go through the details together before you choose.

You can still get a nationwide PPO in Indiana

Whatever the marketplace looks like in your county, you can still get a nationwide PPO in Indiana through me. The Indiana marketplace had no PPO plans in 2026, so none of the exits takes a PPO away; you just have fewer HMO, EPO and similar plans to pick from.

Private PPO plans with medical underwriting use networks that work across the country, and for a healthy person who pays full price on the marketplace, they're often worth pricing. I'm licensed in 36 states, and Indiana is one of them.

Questions about insurers leaving Indiana

Straight answers, no sales pitch.

Which insurance companies are leaving the Indiana marketplace in 2027?

CareSource (confirmed) and Cigna (confirmed). Altogether, 92 of Indiana's 92 counties lose at least one marketplace insurer.

If my insurance company leaves, will I be moved to a new plan automatically?

Maybe, but don't count on it. The federal rule says the marketplace may move you to a similar plan from a different company, as state law and your state regulator allow. HealthCare.gov says that in some cases you won't be automatically re-enrolled, and if you bought off the marketplace, nobody moves you. Pick your own plan.

What's the deadline to pick a new Indiana plan for 2027?

On HealthCare.gov, pick by December 15 for coverage that starts January 1. Open enrollment runs to January 15, but a plan picked after December 15 starts February 1.

Can I still get a PPO in Indiana?

Yes. You can still get a nationwide PPO in Indiana through me. The Indiana marketplace had no PPO plans in 2026, so none of the exits takes a PPO away; you just have fewer HMO, EPO and similar plans to pick from.
