US Healthcare Directory by State
Official public health contacts organized by state — Medicaid programs, state health departments, insurance consumer help lines, community health centers, and crisis resources. All entries link to official government sources.
How to use this directory
Select your state below to reach a page listing key healthcare contacts: the state Medicaid agency (with program name and phone number), the state health department, the state insurance commissioner's office for billing complaints, and the federal HRSA health center finder for free or sliding-fee clinics.
Each state page also shows whether the state has expanded Medicaid under the ACA, which affects income eligibility thresholds. Expansion states cover adults up to 138% of the federal poverty level; non-expansion states typically cover a narrower group. The state's health insurance marketplace type — state-based exchange or the federal healthcare.gov — is also listed.
Crisis resources are consistent nationwide: call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, call 911 for medical emergencies, and call 1-800-222-1222 for Poison Control. State pages note additional state-specific crisis lines where they appear on official sources.
All data was compiled from official federal sources — Medicaid.gov, USA.gov, the KFF Medicaid expansion tracker, and state insurance department directories — in September 2026. Phone numbers, URLs, and program names change; verify at the linked agency before acting. If you need language assistance, any federally funded agency is required to provide free interpreter services — see the Interpreter Rights guide for details on how to request them.

What each state page covers
Each state's directory page lists the following official resources:
- State health department — the official public health authority, linking to the state's .gov health department page.
- Medicaid program — the state's Medicaid agency name, website, and phone number as listed on Medicaid.gov.
- Health insurance marketplace — whether the state uses a state-based exchange or the federal healthcare.gov marketplace, with a direct link.
- Insurance consumer help — the state insurance commissioner or department of insurance for complaints, billing disputes, and coverage questions.
- Community health centers — a link to the HRSA Health Center Finder, which locates federally qualified health centers near any zip code. These clinics charge on a sliding-fee scale based on income and see patients regardless of insurance status.
- Crisis and emergency lines — the national 988 crisis line, 911, and Poison Control (1-800-222-1222).
- Medicaid expansion status — whether the state has expanded Medicaid under the ACA, sourced from the KFF expansion tracker.
Language access information is included on state pages where an official language access page is available from a state .gov source. Under federal law (Section 1557 of the ACA and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act), any federally funded health program must provide free language services to people with limited English proficiency. You can request an interpreter when calling any of the state agencies listed here.
