Indiana Intel Most Brokers Don't Share
1. Best fit for multi-state Indiana employers
If your Indiana business has remote or traveling staff, UHC's national network keeps them in-network in a way an in-state Blue plan cannot always match.
2. All Savers reaches small Indiana groups
All Savers level funding gives groups as small as 2-10 claims-based pricing and a potential year-end surplus refund - an alternative to community-rated fully insured.
3. Optum Rx specialty management
Pharmacy runs through Optum Rx. For self-funded and level-funded Indiana groups, Optum's specialty and biosimilar programs are a real cost lever.
4. Step therapy on the Indiana clock
UHC fully insured plans follow Indiana Code 27-8-5-30 protocol-exception timelines - 1 business day urgent, 3 business days otherwise. ASO groups set their own policy.
5. Indiana clean-claim protection
Indiana's prompt-pay law (IC 27-8-5.7) requires 30-day electronic and 45-day paper clean-claim payment, which steadies provider relationships for your employees.
6. Surest changes utilization
Surest copay-only plans remove the deductible, which helps employees who currently skip care. Availability and minimum group size in Indiana vary - we will confirm before quoting.

Illustrative Example
65-employee auto parts manufacturer, Fort Wayne, Indiana
Manufacturing · 65 employees · Moved to the All Savers level funded plan in 2025
“We'd been fully insured for a decade and never saw a dime back, even in good years. The All Savers surplus check in year one paid for our next open enrollment meeting and then some.”
Why it worked: UHC's All Savers level-funded product lets healthy-claims-year employers like this one keep the surplus instead of it disappearing into a fully insured premium.
