Some state employees may qualify for health care coverage through the Washington Apple Health program at no cost, or Washington Apple Health for Kids with premiums. If you would like to see if you or your dependents qualify for coverage you may apply online at wahealthplanfinder.org or by contacting the Health Benefit Exchange Customer Support Center at 1-855-923-4633.
If you or your dependents qualify for no-cost Apple Health, you will have a choice of available managed care plans depending on the county in which you live. There are no premiums, co-pays, or deductibles. If your dependents qualify for Apple Health for Kids with premiums and you choose to enroll, you will be responsible to pay a small monthly premium.
You may also choose to keep your insurance through your employer. If you keep your employer-based coverage you may qualify for help with your insurance premiums.
