How do I cancel my coverage?

Cancel My Coverage

Before canceling
If you have trouble paying your monthly insurance costs due to COVID-19, we recommend that you update your income in your application. Your change in income may qualify you for free or low-cost Washington Apple Health (Medicaid) or financial help paying for coverage.

Cancel Apple Health coverage (Medicaid)

Online:

Sign in to your Healthplanfinder and select “Report a Change” from the Account Home on your dashboard.
You will be directed to the "Report a change" screen.
Answer "Yes" to the question, "I need to add or remove someone from my household."
On the household members screen, select "Edit" on the household member you want to cancel coverage for.
