Washington Apple Health (Medicaid)
Last updated: June 13, 2026
Apple Health is Washington State's Medicaid program. It provides free or low-cost health coverage to eligible residents, including children, families, pregnant individuals, adults, older adults, and people with disabilities.
What does Apple Health cover?
Apple Health coverage includes primary care, emergency visits, maternity services, pediatric care, dental services, vision care, prescription medications, and more. Most members receive their care through a managed care plan, and the program is administered by the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA).
Who is eligible?
Eligibility depends on your category and your household's income and size. Coverage pathways exist for individual adults, children, pregnant individuals, parents and caretakers, people who are aged, blind, or disabled, and others. Washington expanded Medicaid, so many low-income adults qualify. Applying is the best way to confirm your eligibility.
How to apply
You can apply for or renew Apple Health online through Washington Healthplanfinder, by phone, or with help from a navigator. The Health Care Authority offers resources to help you understand covered benefits and manage your coverage.
