Eligibility

Do you qualify?

Yes if

  • You don't have health insurance right now
  • You're not on Medicare or Medicaid
  • You file taxes as single, or separately from a spouse
  • You have a health condition that needs care

Not a fit if

  • You already have Medicare or Medicaid — that's coverage, and you may already be able to get care
  • You need help with a bill you already owe — this pays future premiums, not past debt

The process

How it works

  1. You apply here. It takes about ten minutes.
  2. We review your application against our scholarship criteria.
  3. A licensed insurance agent helps you pick a plan and enroll. They have the final say on what coverage you qualify for and when.
  4. We pay the premium. You go get care.
  5. We check in with you every 30 days.

Timing depends on your situation. The agent will confirm what's possible and when.
