The DC HealthCare Alliance (Alliance) program is designed to provide medical assistance to needy District residents who are not eligible for federally-financed Medicaid benefits. This includes non-disabled childless adults, non-qualified aliens and some individuals who are over-income for Medicaid. Effective September 1, 2009, applicants who are enrolled in any part of Medicare or who have third party insurance are not eligible for the DC HealthCare Alliance. The Alliance program provides comprehensive health services, including preventative, primary, acute, and chronic care services such as clinic services, emergency care, immunizations, in-patient and out-patient hospital care, physician services and prescription drugs.
