Frequently asked questions

  • What health coverage options are available for immigrants in the US?

    Immigrants in the US have various health coverage options. They can enroll in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) if they meet eligibility criteria. Qualified immigrants can also purchase health insurance plans through the Health Insurance Marketplace or their employer. Additionally, some states offer their own health programs for immigrants.

  • Who qualifies as a "qualified immigrant" for the purpose of accessing health coverage?

    "Qualified immigrants" include lawful permanent residents (green card holders), refugees, asylees, Cuban/Haitian entrants, certain trafficking victims, and individuals with specific humanitarian statuses. Generally, immigrants who have been in the US for over five years or meet certain other criteria are eligible for Medicaid and CHIP. Emergency Medicaid is often available regardless of immigration status.

  • Can undocumented immigrants get any form of health coverage in the US?

    Undocumented immigrants are generally not eligible for most federally-funded health coverage programs, including Medicaid and CHIP. However, emergency medical care is available to all individuals, regardless of immigration status, under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). Some states also offer their own programs that provide limited health services to undocumented immigrants.

  • How does the Affordable Care Act (ACA) affect health coverage for immigrants?

    The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded access to health coverage for immigrants by creating the Health Insurance Marketplace. Lawfully present immigrants, including green card holders and those with other qualified statuses, can purchase health insurance plans through the Marketplace. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible to buy Marketplace plans, even at full cost.

  • What documents are needed to apply for health coverage as an immigrant?

    The documents required for health coverage application can vary based on the program and the immigrant's status. Generally, applicants will need to provide proof of their immigration status, like a green card or visa documentation, Social Security Number (if eligible), and income information. Some states might have additional requirements or accept alternative forms of documentation.
