Some state employees may qualify for health care coverage through Washington Apple Health programs at no cost, or the Washington Apple Health for Kids with premiums program. 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 want to take advantage of this opportunity, you are urged to seek additional information as quickly as possible.
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 WSU. If you keep your employer-based coverage you may qualify for help with your insurance premiums.
Call 1-800-562-3022 ext. 15473, or visit the Premium Payment Program web page on Health Care Authority’s website for more information. The site includes general information and an application form for your convenience. Additional information is available at the U.S. Department of Labor’s website.
