Maryland Medicaid
Low-income families, children, pregnant women, and aged, blind, or disabled adults may qualify for Medicaid. Income qualifications change every year.
Children up to age 19 may qualify for additional benefits from the Maryland Children's Health Program.
Individuals who receive other types of public assistance are automatically offered Medicaid. These include:
- Supplemental Security Income
- ጊዜያዊ የገንዘብ ድጋፍ
- Foster Care
If you are not a U.S. citizen, Medicaid may be available during pregnancy and for four months after birth. It may also be available if you meet other requirements, like the 5-year rule.

Private Health Insurance
If you don’t qualify for Medicaid or children’s health insurance, individuals and families can apply for private health insurance. Financial help may be available.
While many states use the federal marketplace, Maryland has its own one-stop insurance marketplace, Maryland Health Connection, that handles private insurance, Medicaid, and the Maryland Children's Health Program enrollments.
What do they cover?
These plans cover preventive care and other essential health care, such as:
- Doctor visits
- Emergency care
- ሆስፒታሎች
- Lab tests
- Maternity and newborn care
- Mental and behavioral health care
- የሕፃናት ሕክምና
- የመድሃኒት ማዘዣዎች
- Preventive and wellness management
- Rehabilitation
- Substance use disorder treatment
The private plans may have a deductible, coinsurance, and copayment.
Do I qualify for financial help for a private plan?
While financial help is available, the discount may be less than years past. The federal savings program is no longer in place for the Maryland marketplace insurance. Instead, Maryland is providing financial help through Maryland Premium Assistance.
You will no longer be eligible for financial help if your income is below 100% of the federal poverty level and you are not eligible for Medicaid due to your immigration status.
In those situations, the plans are still available, but at full cost.
You can get an estimate for how much these plans may cost.
How do I get help with Insurance enrollment?
If you have questions about Medicare or private insurance enrollment, free help is available in counties throughout Maryland. Navigators can answer questions in-person. They'll help you find the most savings and apply for insurance.
You can also talk to an insurance broker if you are purchasing a private policy.
How do I apply?
You can find a plan through Maryland Health Connection. Make sure you understand the costs and the coverage. Check to make sure your doctors are included in the plan you choose.
And if you need help, use the free counseling support.
