Client feels empowered knowing that Apple Health covers mental health evaluations, services, and routine appointments

Gregory was unable to prioritize his health during the COVID-19 pandemic because he didn’t have health insurance and stable housing. He avoided regular check-ups due to high costs and couldn’t find a therapist for his mental health needs. This had adverse impacts on his well-being, health, and ability to connect with his loved ones.

After doing research online, Gregory learned about Apple Health (Medicaid) and applied for coverage through Washington Healthplanfinder.

Gregory feels empowered knowing that Apple Health covers his mental health evaluations, services, and routine appointments. With his health care covered, he can focus more on his finances, career planning, and finding secure housing.

When asked to share his advice for what other’s should do if they’re unsure about applying for Apple Health, he shared “…don’t hesitate, it’s better to try and get the help than not try at all.”

Mental health evaluations and services are covered under Apple Health — apply online at Washington Healthplanfinder.
