Join us! Help WA move forWArd!

During the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) the Health Care Authority (HCA) extended coverage for all Apple Health (Medicaid) clients. This extension is now ending due to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023.

HCA needs you! We are looking for volunteers in communities across Washington to share messaging and ensure Apple Health recipients have the information and resources they need to maintain coverage.

Let’s work together and help our community! Become an Apple Health Ambassador today!

Calling all community leaders!

It can be challenging for our community members to access Apple Health programs and services due to language barriers, transportation, or not knowing who to call. We are looking for representation from organizations such as schools, food banks and churches, as well as individual community leaders/influencers to help Washingtonians stay insured and not lose coverage.

If you or someone you know would like to participate, contact AHEligCovid19@hca.wa.gov.
