Yes! You can purchase health insurance if you're not a U.S. citizen, but you do have to be a documented (lawful) permanent resident or green card holder. If you do not have legal status in the US there are still some options available to you (see #2 below).
1. If you are documented, or fall into any of the following categories below, you can get traditional coverage through Stride Health, and take advantage of subsidized plans:
- Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR/Green Card Holders)
- Individuals with non-immigrant status (worker visas, student visas, and citizens of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau)
- Asylees
- Refugees
- Victims of Trafficking
- You can see a more detailed list with descriptions of these statuses here.
2. If you are not documented and do not fall into any of these categories, you are still eligible to enroll in a major medical plan, but are unable to apply for subsidized plans. To submit an application, we recommend applying directly with a private insurer (also known as purchasing on an off-exchange health plan).
