Establishing an Authorized Representative with the state
You may wish to authorize an advocate or representative to communicate with the state’s eligibility staff, assist you with filing or processing your application, receive notices on your behalf and/or help you with the annual redetermination process. This is done by completing an Authorized Representative for Health Coverage form (state form 55366) and filing it with the state. This form can be downloaded here: https://forms.in.gov/Download.aspx?id=11310. The form needs to be signed by you and the person you authorize as your representative. It should then be filed with the state by fax to 888-436-9199 or delivered by mail or in person to your local county office.
More information about authorizing a representative to serve on your behalf including the responsibilities of an authorized representative is available here.
