Nationwide Children's Launches Medicaid Enrollment Program

Nationwide Children’s Hospital wants to help qualifying families sign their children up for free health care insurance. There are three basic steps: 1) Call 2-1-1 to make an appointment at one of our community based enrollment sites, 2) Gather up your paperwork, and 3) meet with one of our counselors who will help you complete your child’s enrollment application to receive free health insurance from the State of Ohio.

Your child is eligible if (s)he:

  • Meets financial requirements (200% or less of federal poverty income level)

  • Is a United State’s citizen (although non-citizens may still be eligible)

  • Is an Ohio resident

  • Has a social security number
