Apple Health Expansion is a new program designed to provide full-scope health care coverage to people age 19 or older with certain immigration statuses. Eligible clients include those who do not qualify for other Apple Health programs based on their immigration status. Apple Health Expansion is designed to mirror to the extent possible the services provided to individuals enrolled in Apple Health (Medicaid) managed care.
Due to program funding, the number of people who can enroll in Apple Health Expansion is limited. This will ensure clients receive the highest value care possible. View the enrollment cap announcement to learn how this impacts you.
