The Major Risk Medical Insurance Program (MRMIP) provides health insurance for Californians unable to obtain coverage in the individual health insurance market because of their pre-existing conditions. Californians qualifying for the program participate in the cost of their coverage by paying premiums. The State of California supplements those premiums to cover the cost of care in MRMIP. Tobacco tax funds currently subsidize the MRMIP.
Qualifications:
Because of funding limitations, MRMIP does sometimes have a wait list. For information on whether there is a wait list or a copy of the MRMIP Handbook & application, please call toll free 1-800-289-6574.
