  •  Paper application (mailed to Medicaid)
  • Phone application by calling the Recipient Call Center at 1-800-362-1504 (toll-free), Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
  • In-person application at local county health department, federally qualified health care center (FQHC), regional Alabama Coordinated Health Network (ACHN), or some local hospitals
