This new program is funded by the federal and state government and is designed specifically for working families without health insurance for their children. The program provides full, comprehensive health benefits for children up to age 19, and pregnant women of any age. Those eligible for the new program will be included in HealthChoice, an existing, statewide managed care program. For pregnant women, covered benefits include prenatal doctor visits, hospital delivery, lab work and tests and prescription medicines including prenatal vitamins.
Application is easy.
Mail-in forms are available at the St. Mary's County Health Department and at various locations throughout the community. The application must be completed and either mailed or brought into the health department.
