Delaware Medicaid Eligibility

Not sure if you qualify for Highmark Health Options Medicaid coverage?

These details help explain who qualifies for Medicaid.

Citizenship and Residency

To obtain full Medicaid benefits in Delaware, you must be a Delaware resident and either a U.S. citizen or a legally residing noncitizen.  

Additionally, full coverage for noncitizens which include DACA recipients, is dependent on the availability of state funding. However, noncitizens (residing legally or illegally) can qualify for coverage for emergencies and labor & delivery services if income requirements are met. 

Financial Eligibility

Qualifying for Medicaid is also based on need. Household income must be under certain limits as defined by the Federal Poverty Level and is based on family size.
