Health Care Coverage

Does your family have comprehensive health care coverage? Healthy Kids covers all the health care needs, including doctor visits, hospitalizations, prescriptions, dental and vision care, and counseling.

Who's Eligible

Healthy Kids is health coverage for Oregon's children and teens that don't have health insurance. Kids with current health conditions can enroll. Children that already have health care may apply, however, they will generally need to meet the requirement of being uninsured for two months; there are several exceptions that make it possible for children that do have health care to be able to bypass the two months of uninsured.

Coverage lasts for 12 months and can be longer upon renewal. Healthy Kids is based on a family's income and there are three health care coverage options: no cost, low cost, and full cost. This means no family makes too much to apply whether employed, self-employed, or unemployed. For example, a family of four with $66,000 annual income qualifies.

A child must be under the age of 19 and must live in Oregon and be a legal resident.

Reasons to be insured

Why is health insurance for children and teens important? Children who have health insurance generally have better health, and children who are healthy are more likely to succeed in school and are better prepared to succeed in life. Health Insurance means that your child is more likely to:

• Receive needed shots that prevent disease
• Get treatment for recurring illnesses such as ear infections and asthma
• Get preventative care to keep them well
• Get sick less frequently
• Get the treatment they need when they are sick
• Have better attendance and do better at school
