Washington Basic Information

Washington Basic Health is a health insurance option providing low cost health care to qualifying Washington residents. Residents must meet income requirements and not be eligible for free or purchased Medicare. They cannot be institutionalized at the time of enrollment and also cannot be attending school full time in the US on a student visa.

Currently, there is a waiting list for Washington Basic. There are certain criteria which allow a resident to bypass the waiting list. This includes foster parents, personal care workers, HCTC, Tribal sponsored accounts and Washington National Guard or Reserves who served in Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, or Operation Noble Eagle.

Also exempt from the waiting list is BH Plus and Maternity applicants who are ineligible for DSHS programs and former BH members dis enrolled because of Medicaid who have since lost that coverage and notified Washington Basic Health within 30 days.
