RIte Care/Medicaid
The Rhode Island Medical Assistance Program, also known as Medicaid, is a federal and state funded program that pays for medical and health related services for eligible Rhode Islanders.
Medicaid is available to you based on income status and disability under the Medical Assistance Program. Medicaid is focused on providing health insurance coverage to low-income Rhode Islanders.
RIte Care (external link) is Rhode Island’s Medicaid health insurance program that provides eligible uninsured children, families, and pregnant women with comprehensive health care through one of three participating health plans: Neighborhood Health Plan of RI, UnitedHealthcare of New England, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island.
RIte Share (external link) is a premium assistance program that helps families get insurance coverage through their employer (or spouse’s employer). If a family qualifies, RIte Share will pay all or part of the employee’s share of the health insurance premium.
Generally, eligibility for RIte Care and RIte Share is based upon income level and family size. Both are administered through the Rhode Island Department of Human Services (external link).
