Families with limited incomes will find health insurance opportunities through the District of Columbia's Department of Health. The Medical Assistance Administration (MAA) offers coverage to those living under the poverty limit, while D.C. Healthy Children, the state's S-CHIP offering, provides children and adolescents under 19 who are living by themselves comprehensive medical care. Other governmentally assisted programs for the uninsured include the DC Healthcare Alliance, which includes immunizations and dental services.
For those whose income puts them out of reach of state aid, there are still many health insurance options, including the following:
- Medical discount plans: These private health insurance plans offer consumers up to 40% off medical costs, including prescription drug savings. The cost begins at $19.95/month per person.
- Association medical plans: For consumers who who are involved in a community group, such as a union or club, there are a number of group insurance options available.
- Private insurance plans: Although a relatively new offering for individuals and families, these plans can be just as good as those offered by employers.
