LEONARDTOWN, MD (August 8, 2023) – The St. Mary’s County Health Department (SMCHD) will begin assisting community members in applying for Medicaid health insurance at the Charlotte Hall Library. Regularly scheduled help sessions begin Thursday, August 10, 2023 from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m., and continue on the 2nd and 4th Thursday each month through December. Medicaid Specialists will be on-site to provide guidance through the Medicaid insurance application process. Community members may still receive assistance with health insurance enrollment at the SMCHD main office in Leonardtown Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (walk-ins accepted until 4:00 p.m.) and at the St. Mary’s County Health Hub in Lexington Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Appointments are highly recommended to avoid wait times; however, walk-ins will be welcomed as scheduling permits.
“We hope community members will take advantage of this convenient service,” said Dr. Meena Brewster, St. Mary’s County Health Officer. “Navigating the health insurance process can sometimes be overwhelming – our dedicated SMCHD medicaid specialists are here to provide support.”
