The procedure to terminate enrollment in Washington State’s Medicaid program, known as Apple Health, involves specific steps to ensure coverage ceases appropriately. This action is necessary when an individual gains eligibility for other insurance, moves out of state, or no longer requires the benefits provided.
Properly executing the disenrollment process ensures accurate record-keeping and prevents potential complications related to dual coverage or unwarranted billing. Furthermore, understanding the implications of ending coverage is crucial for a seamless transition to alternative healthcare options, if needed, and to maintain a clear understanding of one’s health insurance status.
