Beginning July 2024, eligibility for Washington Apple Health coverage is expanding to adults age 19 and older, regardless of immigration status. This new program is called Apple Health Expansion.
Apple Health Expansion’s funding was determined by the 2024 legislative session. Due to a limited budget, the Health Care Authority (HCA) needs to manage the number of people who can enroll into the program to ensure clients receive the highest value care possible.
HCA plans to enroll up to 13,000 people into Apple Health Expansion. Detailed information about when people can apply and how those in current coverage programs will be automatically transitioned to Apple Health Expansion will be available in late April. Eligible groups (detailed below) are transitioned into the program first, and then clients applying for Apple Health Expansion will be enrolled until the enrollment cap has been met.
