Washington Medicaid: Apple Health

As of early 2026, the Apple Health Expansion program is no longer accepting  new enrollments due to limited funding. The program serves certain adults regardless of immigration status.

Washington Apple Health provides free or low-cost, comprehensive health insurance to eligible low-income residents, including families with children, pregnant women, and elderly people in nursing homes.

Most enrollees in Washington State receive services through one of five managed care organizations (MCOs) that serve their local area .

  1. Community Health Plan of Washington
  2. Coordinated Care
  3. Molina Healthcare of Washington
  4. UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Washington
  5. Wellpoint Washington

Covered services include primary care, emergency room visits, maternity care, dental services, vision care, prescription medications, and behavioral health services.

Apple Health Expansion  is a program providing coverage to adults aged 19 and older regardless of immigration status, though enrollment may be limited by funding.
