How to Submit Documents | Washington Healthplanfinder

Washington Healthplanfinder is down for maintenance and has limited capabilities. We expect to be back online within a few hours. Get Maintenance updates.

How to Submit Documents

You can submit documents through mail or the mobile app when the system is down.

In some cases, Washington Healthplanfinder needs additional information about your household so you can enroll in coverage.
This is called being “conditionally eligible” and it happens when the systems that check your application can’t confirm some of your information.

If you’re conditionally eligible and don’t submit documents before the deadline, you and others in your household could lose your health insurance or the amount of financial help you’re getting could change.

If you need to submit documents, you’ll receive a message that lets you know what type of document we need and the due date for you to submit it.
