Healthy Families Health Insurance -Low
cost health, dental and vision coverage to uninsured children
|
Healthy Families Program (HFP) provides low cost health,
dental and vision coverage to uninsured children in
low wage families whose income is too high for no cost
Medi-Cal eligibility. Families pay premiums of $4-$14
per child per month to participate in the program.
When you enroll your children in Healthy Families, you
choose the health, dental and vision insurance plans.
The plans provide the health, dental and vision coverage
for your children. This insurance pays most of your
children’s costs for visits to doctors, dentists, and
specialists. The insurance plans also contract with
clinics, laboratories, pharmacies and hospitals for your
children’s health care. |

Coverage for abortion. Some health plans offer
two choices: a plan that pays for abortions, and one
that doesn't. If you choose a Blue Shield-EPO, Blue
Shield-HMO, CalOptima Kids or Kern Family Health Care
plan and you want the plan that does not include
elective abortions, add "N" to the end of the Plan Code.
