MediKids is a health insurance program for children under age 5 that is administered by the Agency for Health Care Administration. MediKids enrollees receive most Medicaid benefits. MediKids enrollees receive services from Medicaid providers. MediKids is not an entitlement program.
Children can only enroll during open enrollment periods.
By state law,families must choose either a Medicaid-participating HMO or a MediPass provider before a child's MediKids coverage begins.
