See the DHCF page on eligibility.
My child has private insurance – can we still apply for District of Columbia (DC) Medicaid?
Yes, your child may have both DC Medicaid and other health insurance. The other insurance must be billed first before seeking reimbursement from DC Medicaid for medically necessary services that your private health insurance does not cover. You must report to the District if you and your child have any other health insurance.
