Maryland Refugee Health Resources
From the date of eligibility (date of humanitarian parole), CHEs may be eligible for a no-cost comprehensive domestic medical screening examination, also known as the Refugee Medical Screening. The Maryland Department of Health’s Center for Global Migration and Immigrant Health supports culturally-informed and language-accessible health screening for all humanitarian immigrants that can identify health conditions that compromise their well-being, provide vaccinations required for school and work, and refer clients to primary, public health, and/or specialty care providers for ongoing healthcare.

Refugee Medical Screening is provided by appointment only.
Applying for Medicaid
While it is strongly encouraged that you work with local resettlement agencies to confirm your eligibility and to assist with the benefit enrollment process, if you are interested in applying for Medicaid on your own, you may access the online application through Maryland Health Connection or contact a local Department of Social Services office to set up an appointment.
