Access to Other Health Coverage

How to submit documents
to DC Health Link

People who have access to other health insurance (sometimes called minimum essential coverage) are not eligible for lower monthly premiums or lower out-of-pocket costs. If you or someone in your household’s other coverage has ended, you’ll need to provide proof. This can include:

  • A certificate of coverage or letter from the person’s health insurance company showing the end date of coverage
  • A government-issued document showing the date coverage ended or ineligibility for a program
  • A statement from the person’s employer that indicates the coverage they offer doesn’t meet the minimum value standard

There are 3 ways for you to submit the documents we need to make a final decision on your eligibility:
