Medicaid Coverage FAQ's

Due to Medicaid expansion, more adults in Virginia now have access to quality, low-cost and no-cost health insurance. Virginians aged 19-64 can submit an application at any time of the year to get the health care they need so they don't have to worry about getting sick or having an accident.

  • You are eligible if you’re a Virginia resident between the ages of 19 and 64 and are not already in or eligible for Medicare.
  • There are some income requirements you have to meet, which vary by household size.
