What is Free Health Coverage?<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Free health coverage is the ability to access medical care at no cost. This type of coverage is available to certain individuals who meet income guidelines. Typically, free health coverage is available through the\u00a0Affordable Care Act<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(ACA) and\u00a0Medicaid<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In most cases, those seeking free health coverage must fill out an application in order to enroll in health insurance at no cost. Your income level and family size are two of the most important factors in deciding whether or not you qualify. If your income level is too high, you may qualify for a low-cost health plan or a sliding-scale based health plan.<\/p>\n

Also, if your income is too high for you to qualify, your children may still be able to access free healthcare through the\u00a0Children\u2019s Health Insurance Program<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(CHIP).<\/p>\n

At Freeway Insurance, we know that navigating\u00a0health insurance<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0can be complicated. Our bilingual and skilled healthcare agents are here to help you make the best choices for you and your family.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

How Do I Get Free or Low-Cost Health Care?<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

You may qualify for free or low-cost<\/span> care through Medicaid or the ACA health insurance marketplace, based on income and family size. The marketplace provides subsidies for those who qualify to help pay for health insurance. When you apply for health coverage at the online marketplace, your application may be routed to Medicaid, which offers free health insurance to those who qualify.<\/p>\n

The ACA health care law provides states with additional federal funding to expand their Medicaid programs to cover adults under 65 who make up to 133% of the federal poverty level. Children (18 and under) are eligible up to that income level or higher in all states.<\/p>\n

How Do I Get Free Health Insurance for My Kids?<\/h2>\n

If you qualify for Medicaid, it will also provide free health care for your children. If your income level is too high for Medicaid but you still cannot afford private health insurance, your children may still be eligible for CHIP.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Can I Get Free Health Insurance Through Obamacare?<\/h2>\n

Yes, if you and your family qualify for Medicaid or CHIP. In many states, when you enroll in health insurance through the ACA marketplace, your application will route to your state\u2019s Medicaid administrative office if you meet the income guidelines.<\/p>\n
