Medicaid is a government program that gives free or low-cost health coverage to people with limited income, such as some adults, children, pregnant women, seniors and people with disabilities. Each state runs its own Medicaid program and decides who qualifies. We are an independent insurance agency, and we cannot enroll you in Medicaid or check your Medicaid.

How help with premiums works
Many Marketplace shoppers qualify for premium tax credits that lower the monthly premium. The amount depends on your household income, family size and where you live, so two neighbors can pay different amounts. Some people qualify for Medicaid instead. Call 855-367-1095 and we will work out which applies to you in a few minutes.
Missed the window? Losing other coverage, moving, getting married or having a baby can open a special enrollment period. Call us and we will tell you whether you qualify.
