Can undocumented immigrants get health insurance? Can undocumented immigrants get health insurance in the U.S.? Unfortunately, undocumented immigrants in the United States have few coverage options. They do not qualify to apply for Affordable Care Act Marketplace health coverage, and are also ineligible to apply for Medicaid, Medicare or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). 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.
