Maryland Children’s Health Program (MCHP)/Medical Assistance Eligibility

Medicaid and Maryland Children’s Health Program offer free or low-cost health insurance coverage to more Maryland residents than ever before. Medicaid now covers more adults, so you may qualify, even if you didn’t in the past. Your children or other members of your household also may qualify even if you don’t. If you’re pregnant, or if you have children, you may still qualify even if your income is higher. Eligibility is based on income, family size, etc.

Covered health services include hospital care, prescription medications, prenatal doctor visits, hospital delivery, mental health services, dental and vision care, doctor’s visits and checkups, shots, lab tests and other tests.

The program operates year-round to determine continued eligibility, process income, job and family changes that impact eligibility and to assist in Maryland Health Connection processing.

The online application can be found at www.MarylandHealthConnection.gov
