Pay my Apple Health premium

Some Washington Apple Health programs require a premium payment, including:

• Apple Health for Kids with Premiums (commonly referred to as CHIP)
• Apple Health for Workers with Disabilities (HWD)

If you were approved for an Apple Health program that requires you to pay a monthly premium, you will be mailed a statement from the Office of Financial Recovery (OFR). The statement will tell you the premium amount and information on how to pay.

Do I need to pay my premium before receiving health services?

No, if you received a letter stating you have been approved for Apple Health coverage, you do not need to wait until a premium bill comes to begin using your services.
