It is estimated that 50% of undocumented individuals in the United States do not have health insurance, compared to only 8% of citizen adults who don’t (KFF). The reality of these statistics demonstrates how difficult it can be to gain access to healthcare and services among undocumented immigrants. That said, although navigating and obtaining quality health coverage and care may seem challenging, there are opportunities that might be accessible. In this resource page, we have compiled a list of key information about physical health-related resources.

Common Terminology
- Health insurance: Functions as a type of contract that requires the insurer you are covered by to pay most, if not all, of your health care-related costs/bills. In exchange you pay a premium, which is the equivalent of a monthly payment (HealthCare.Gov).
- Affordable Care Act: Law meant to make affordable health insurance available to more people. The law takes a look at the federal poverty level (FPL). For families/households with incomes between the 100% and 400% FPL, subsidies (called premium tax credit) are provided that help lower the cost of health coverage (HealthCare.Gov).
- The Affordable Care Act is not currently available for undocumented individuals. However, there may be some exceptions for individuals, such as DACA recipients. To learn more about the Affordable Care Act eligibility, refer to the section below.
- Federal Poverty Level (FPL): This measures your income which helps some social service providers and programs determine whether you are eligible for programs or assistance. (Healthcare.Gov) Here is a chart of the federal poverty levels.
- Health Insurance Marketplace: This is where individuals can find and enroll in medical insurance which was made by the Affordable Care Act. Healthcare.gov allows you to identify the marketplace in your state.
- Each state has their own restrictions and limitations based on immigration status. It is imperative to learn more about the medical insurance plans available where you live and if needed, take the additional step of talking to a trustworthy social service provider who may be able to help you navigate the process, including any specific questions or concerns you may have.
- Medicaid: This initiative gives free or low-cost health insurance to qualifying individuals. Please note that eligibility for medicaid is determined by state and there are often restrictions and limitations based on immigration status (HealthCare.Gov).
- Full Medicaid is not currently available for undocumented individuals. To learn more about Medicaid eligibility, refer to the section below.
- Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP): This initiative gives low-cost health insurance to children or pregnant women who do not have Medicaid or private insurance (Healthcare.Gov).
- The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is not currently available for undocumented individuals. However, there may be some exceptions for pregnant individuals in some states. To learn more about the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) eligibility, refer to the section below.
- Prenatal Care: Services geared towards care for pregnant individuals before birth.
- Emergency healthcare: By law, public hospitals must attend to patients in emergency medical services even if the patient is uninsured due to the “Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, also known as “EMTALA.” This law helps prevent any hospital emergency department that receives Medicare funds (which includes most U.S. hospitals) from refusing to treat patients.”
Resources in Your School
Many colleges and universities have a resource center for basic needs available to their enrolled students. Additionally, many of these universities have a social worker or specific departments and teams that can assist students with getting in touch with assistance related to health care inquiries. Please remember that as a student you likely have access to health services offered on your campus as these are usually part of your fees.
“I was thinking of going to like a chiropractor. I have the insurance of the university so that helps me cover it in case I have anything like that. So, I was thinking if it worsens like if they continue because so far [it] has only been happening for like a week. Yeah, I would definitely have to go but thankfully, much further…”
Andrea, an undocumented college student in California
There are a variety of tips that you can follow to identify undocu-friendly campuses. This is important because undocu-friendly campuses may provide greater support and resources for undocumented students. One of the most important tips to follow is to research the school you are considering beforehand. Some questions to ask yourself: Do they have a health center? If so, who can access these resources? Do they offer health coverage-like programs or services to students? What happens in cases where a student may need specialty services? You should also research if the schools you are considering have an undocu/dream resource center, a student care/support department/network, or if they are considered a sanctuary school/campus. Some reports show that historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and faith-based institutions often advocate for undocumented students
Spotlight on select campuses across the country
There are a variety of college campuses across the U.S. that are already supporting undocumented students and helping them connect with off-campus resources. Below we are listing a few college campuses doing just that, which can be used to help you as you consider enrolling or can be used as an example to advocate to bring similar services to your own campus!
Western Washington University has a section on their website that focuses on highlighting the services they offer that are meant to specifically support undocumented students. They have a Student Health Center that serves as a primary care clinic for WWU students.
The University of Colorado |Anschutz Medical Campus provides Undocumented Student Services and highlights local community resources such as Servicios de la Raza and low fee clinics that offer healthcare services or resources in Colorado.
Spotlight on California
Many university and college campuses across California have expanded their services to support undocumented college students, and those in mixed-status families. Below are a few examples of some campuses that are doing just that:
Berkeley’s UndocuHealth recognizes the health care barriers many of their students faced before attending their campus and provides an array of services to address them.
California State University (CSU) Campuses offer free immigration services, health services, with a specific focus on mental health services, and employee assistance programs.
University of California (UC) Campuses offer health and wellness programs, basic needs centers, and student resource centers for undocumented students.
California Community College Campuses offer health assessment and treatment, psychological counseling and crisis intervention, first aid and community partnerships to undocumented students.
National Health Insurance Overview
We acknowledge that many of you may have questions about securing health services and resources outside of the school setting, especially for your loved ones such as parents or siblings. Therefore we have included additional resources all surrounding the medical coverage/care world. In this section, we discuss health insurance. The goal of health insurance is to help make the cost of health care more affordable. Below we have included a general overview of health insurance, including information on the different kinds and how to see if you qualify for health coverage.
Understanding the difference between public vs. private health care
Health insurance can often be expensive which is why many people may not have it. It is estimated that approximately 38.4% of Californians without health insurance are living in poverty (PPIC). Health insurance is offered by both public programs and by private companies. The public programs are offered by the federal government, which are then administered at the state level. Access this guide from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to learn about the basics of health insurance, as well as learn more about the difference between public vs. private health insurance.
Awareness of the limitations in healthcare options for undocumented individuals
Starting on November 1, 2024, DACA recipients may be eligible for affordable health insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Please note that undocumented individuals without DACA are still ineligible for the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), signed by President Obama in 2010, allows most recipients to purchase insurance for less than $10 a month. Unless there is a qualifying event, such as a birth or a recent marriage, to apply for ACA you need to apply during the open enrollment period which is between November 1 and January 15 every year. You can apply through phone, online, an agent/broker, certified enrollment partner websites, and with a paper application. Here is a helpful checklist of what you may need in order to apply. Additionally, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) may offer coverage to uninsured women, regardless of immigration status, as it may consider the unborn child a “targeted low-income child” who is eligible for this program. It is important to remember that CHIP is not available to undocumented individuals and that the eligibility for pregnant women is limited to the rules and regulations of each state. That said, CHIP may be an option for families with mixed-immigration statuses. For example, it may not be available for undocumented parents but available for U.S. citizen children.
What is available to undocumented immigrants
Since undocumented individuals without DACA cannot get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace or federally funded programs, coverage may only be available and purchased through private insurance. It is important to note however, that private health insurance costs are often higher than public programs. There are some financial assistance programs available for people with private health insurance and many of these financial assistance programs are programs created by specific hospitals themselves, or they are a result of a partnership with a non-profit organization. To learn more about financial assistance programs, visit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s article on Is there financial help for my medical bills?
To learn more about different healthcare options for undocumented immigrants, visit the GoodRX Health which provides information on safe medicare, emergency medicare, and more. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services also created helpful slides with information on Pregnancy, Prenatal Care, and Newborn Coverage Options with particular consideration for immigrant communities. Specific information can be found on pages 9, 21, and 38-40. Additionally, the National Immigration Law Center has a guide with Health Care Coverage (Maps). In these maps, you can learn about what states have expanded their medicaid eligibility to cover lawfully residing children without a waiting period and regardless of immigration status (information found on map 1), as well as what states have expanded their medicaid eligibility, or offer coverage through the CHIP or state funds, to cover lawfully residing pregnant people and provide prenatal care, without a waiting period and regardless of immigration status (information found on map 2).
Information on health coverage and expansions, based on where you live
USA.gov has a Benefit Finder Tool that can help you find government benefits and financial help. Through this tool, you can identify healthcare and medical assistance by state. While doing this, it is important to note that each state chooses the eligibility for their state Medicaid, but mostly every state requires the individual to be a “qualified noncitizen” which usually means a permanent resident. However, as of March 2024, six states (California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, Oregon, Washington) have expanded their coverage to income-eligible adults regardless of their immigration status. For more information on state-specific health coverage, refer to this breakdown of state health coverage for immigrants and implications for health coverage and care by KFF, where you can learn about what states offer some sort of coverage or have expanded the health coverage to include [undocumented] immigrants. You can also read about medicare state expansion through the Washington State Standard, which discusses the expansion of health coverage in an article titled more states offer health care coverage for certain immigrants, noncitizens, and through the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities which released an article with information on States Providing Affordable Health Coverage to People Barred From Certain Health Programs Due to Immigration Status.
Accessing direct services and resources
We recognize that even those who have been living in the U.S. might struggle with understanding the world of health coverage. The website, 211, has a section focused on those who are new to the U.S. that can direct someone to access resources and information on health care.

In terms of state-specific support, the National Immigration Law Center made a chart illustrating medical assistance programs available to immigrants in various states. It is also helpful to note that low-cost and free clinics often offer treatment to patients without insurance, many of whom may be undocumented. Many of these clinics may offer services ranging from Primary Care, Physical Therapy, Mental Health Services and Counseling, Prenatal Care, Dermatology, Mobile Healthcare, On-Site Dispensary, Optometry, and Laboratory Services. Most of the programs generally only ask for proof that you reside in the city/neighborhood, proof of income, and some form of identification. Additionally, most typically accept a wide variety of IDs. Here is a website created by the US government where you can locate the closest affordable clinics near you. There are also a few directories that allow you to identify free or low-cost clinics and community health centers near you. Some examples are the Free Clinic Directory and the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinic Find a Clinic database.
If possible, it is always helpful to ensure that any time you are accessing a service, you do your best to ensure it is undocu-friendly. Planned Parenthood created a guide on knowing your rights in health care as an immigrant that can be helpful in staying informed on your rights.
State Health Insurance Policies & Resources
Each state has its own unique set of rules and policies in terms of access to health coverage and insurance. For those who live in states where medical coverage is limited to documented residents, it can be a world of a difference when they are presented with the opportunity to apply for health insurance coverage.
“Yeah, actually, this is the first time I’ve gotten, I felt like a lot of support, like, medical wise, because thankfully, they were also covering my health insurance here. And this is my first time ever having insurance like [school] insurance is my health insurance. And since I lived in Texas, like obviously, we didn’t get insurance. So, it was always like, we’re not gonna go unless we need to go.”
Juliana, a DACAmented college student in California that previously lived in Texas
Although not every state provides health insurance options for undocumented immigrants, we have seen an increase in expansion of health coverage. Below we have included an overview of health insurance coverage including information on the different states that may currently offer or have previously offered health coverage to include immigrants, both documented and undocumented. Even if you do not live in one of these states, having a general sense of what other states offer can be helpful in case there is ever a potential relocation, for example if you go to school outside of your state. The following is state-specific information. For some states, you will find information on states that have been known to offer or previously offered health insurance plans that cover some immigrant communities. For other states, we have included information and direct health care-related resources for undocumented immigrants.

“[…] I was able to go to this hospital nearby and it was able to get covered by [that] insurance [that] my mom had found. But I’d say when it comes to not having that, like, previous years, I usually just have to look for clinics that have like discounts available. So yeah, it’s a little bit uncertain when I don’t have that insurance. But luckily, right now I do.”
Daniel, an undocumented college student in Colorado
Direct Stories of Immigrants and Reports on the Overall Impact of Limited Healthcare Options
There are many stories of negative experiences with health care as an undocumented immigrant. Take for example Denise’s story- No longer afraid: an undocumented immigrant’s experience in American health care where she discusses navigating and working in the US healthcare after her own mother was denied care due to her immigration status. Frontline PBS also released a short documentary titled Undocumented in the Pandemic that focused on the story of a family where the father was in a detention facility during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This documentary highlights the lack of consideration for undocumented immigrants’ health, especially those in custody, during the pandemic. WHAS11 released a report that focuses on the lack of health coverage and how it impacts the immigrant community focusing on the story of an immigrant woman who was taken to the emergency room due for kidney surgery but was left with a bill that she would not have the means to pay for. Michigan Medicine released a video focusing on the impact of Health Care for Undocumented Immigrants due to a hostile political climate. Emergency Healthcare: Freedom Care provides information on the The Basics of Emergency Medicaid while Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services discusses what the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) is and highlights that you have rights in an emergency room.. You can also find additional information on the Emergency Medical Services through American College of Emergency Physicians- Understanding EMTALA.
Academic studies
To learn more about the additional ways undocumented immigrants access healthcare, check out this report written by Mike Nicholson on The Role of Faith-Based Organizations in Immigrants’ Health and Entrepreneurship that discusses how forming trustworthy relationship between religious groups and the community can be helpful for healthcare expansion advocacy and trusted referrals. Additionally, Karen Hacker and colleagues authored a literature review titled, “Barriers to health care for undocumented immigrants”, which discusses issues related to policy impacting undocumented immigrants in part through the fear of deportation, stigma, and other factors. Lastly, Rebecca Woofter and May Sudhinaraset discuss the impact on access to healthcare between those who may have DACA protections and those who do not in a report titled, “Differences in Barriers to Healthcare and Discrimination in Healthcare Settings Among Undocumented Immigrants by Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Status.”
Dental Care
According to the National Library of Medicine, “more than one-half of noncitizens (50.5%) received a diagnosis of periodontal disease, and 38.0% had caries; for natives, these rates were 34.4% and 27.0%, respectively.” (NIH 2018). Not all health insurance plans include dental coverage and high-cost dental procedures can deter undocumented communities from seeking any care at all. Below we have included a resource that can serve as a starting point for identifying quality services, regardless of your immigration status.
Identifying quality care
SABEResPODER provides information on Dental care for undocumented immigrants. This resource has links to resources that can help find dental information and services to immigrants such as community health centers financed by the federal government, dental programs affiliated to schools and universities across the country, clinical trials through the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, and community clinics financed by local or state resources. Some dental clinics may offer sliding scale services to their local community and do not require insurance or require you to be a citizen.
