Additional Resources
Individuals who were previously enrolled in HBIA may have access to primary and preventative care at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and free and charitable clinics that serve uninsured and underinsured people regardless of their immigration status and ability to pay.

Emergency Medical Services
Individuals who have lost coverage will continue to have access to Emergency Medical for Noncitizens. This provides time-limited coverage for emergency services to individuals who are not eligible for other Medicaid eligibility categories solely due to their immigration status.
In addition to traditional application pathways, hospitals may also apply on behalf of a customer.
