Need Help with Private Insurance Premiums?
Did you know that there’s a way to have the flexibility of private health insurance and get reimbursed for premiums from Apple Health (Medicaid)? The Washington State Premium Payment Program reimburses the cost of private health insurance premiums for certain individuals who would cost more for the state to cover under Apple Health.
