HealthyKIDS Program

Eligibility is based in part on family income. Children in households with incomes up to 250 percent of the Federal Poverty Levels, who would otherwise qualify for the Federal/State HealthWave program, may be eligible for the HealthyKIDS program.

To see if your income may qualify you for the HealthyKIDS program, go to the Income Guideline chart. If you believe you may be eligible for HealthyKIDS, enroll online when making your selections during open enrollment.

REMEMBER - YOU MUST RE-APPLY EVERY YEAR, EVEN IF YOU WERE ELIGIBLE AND ENROLLED THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

If you are applying mid-year due to a qualifying event, your application must be received no more than 31 days from the date of the qualifying event. Equally important, you must re-apply every year!

Your enrollment will be processed and you will be notified directly if you qualify. A letter will be sent to your home address currently on file. If approved, your premiums for coverage of your dependent children will be adjusted based upon the current HealthyKIDS rates.
