Medicaid enrollees automatically qualify for a free iPhone and free wireless service through the Lifeline program.
If you're enrolled in Medicaid (or your state's equivalent like Medi-Cal in California), you automatically qualify for a free government iPhone through the Lifeline program. Medicaid is one of the most common qualifying programs, covering tens of millions of Americans.
Getting a smartphone is especially important for Medicaid recipients because it enables access to telehealth services, appointment scheduling, prescription management, and health information. With a free iPhone, you can use the Health app, set medication reminders, FaceTime with doctors, and access your patient portal from anywhere.
