 DWD has
partnered with Anthem BlueCross BlueShield to provide Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP)
Plus members with free vouchers that cover the cost of the Indiana High School
Equivalency (HSE) test. The exam assesses skills at the same level as those of
graduating high school seniors to ensure workforce and college readiness.
Through this partnership, eligible Anthem BlueCross
BlueShield HIP Plus members can register for the Indiana HSE test at locations
throughout Indiana. Members then have
three opportunities to pass each of five subject areas (reading, writing, mathematics,
science and social studies) within one year. The HSE testing center will provide a voucher
number once a HIP Plus member has completed registration and Anthem Blue Cross
BlueShield HIP Plus will cover all test costs.
Additionally, prospective test takers may enroll in free
DWD-sponsored adult education classes such as WorkINdiana to prepare for the
HSE test. WorkINdiana also enables students to earn a career certificate or
industry-recognized credential while studying for the Indiana HSE. For additional information
regarding the Indiana HSE or other adult education services provided by the
DWD, please visit www.in.gov/dwd/HSE.htm.
