Medical Assistance

​​The Carroll County Health Department helps eligible Maryland residents apply for Medical Assistance (also called MA or Medicaid). Medical Assistance provides free or low-cost medical care for eligible low-income people who qualify.

You can apply for Medical Assistance at any time. We can also help you apply for health insurance through the Maryland Health Connection​

Maryland's Child Health Insurance Program (MCHP) provides full health benefits for children under age 19 who are not eligible for Medical Assistance, and pregnant women who meet income limits.

Contact us to find out if you or your children qualify for Medical Assistance or Maryland's Child Health Insurance Program. See our contact information below.

To find out if you or your children may qualify for Medical Assistance or Maryland's Child Health Insurance Program, contact us at 410-876-4811 or [email protected]. Office hours are Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm.​
