Content: In some states, women have the option of getting coverage for prenatal care regardless of immigration status, though. Some undocumented immigrants may have access to employer-sponsored health insurance, but many do not. Likewise, some may get health coverage through a spouse or a dependent who has an employer-provided health plan and benefits. Options for insurance
Undocumented immigrants may be able to purchase private insurance on the Marketplace in some places and in some instances. Being unable to access subsidies for this coverage keeps prices high, though. Some student health programs cover undocumented immigrants, and six states and Washington, D.C. use state-only funds to cover income-eligible children regardless of immigration status. In California, starting in January 2020, low-income undocumented young adults can be covered by Medicaid (called Medi-Cal in California) until they turn 26. Options for affordable health care
The majority of undocumented immigrants have limited options in terms of their health care coverage. Unfortunately, this also means limited health care access. Undocumented immigrants can access basic primary care through community health centers.
