Income requirements vary by KidCare Plan and are based on family size. Payments made for childcare expenses or child support will be subtracted from income. KidCare services are available at no cost or at low cost. How much you pay depends on whether your family income qualifies you for KidCare Assist, KidCare Share, or KidCare Premium. Services for kids include doctor and nursing care, immunizations and preventive care, hospital and clinic care, laboratory test and x-rays, prescription drugs, medical equipment and supplies, medical transportation, dental care, eye care, psychiatric care, podiatry, chiropractic care, physical therapy, mental health and substance abuse services.
Pregnant women receive pre-natal care and other medical services.
Families who have employer-sponsored or private insurance can receive help from KidCare to pay their insurance premiums if their family income falls between certain monthly income standards. KidCare participants enrolled in employer or private plans receive the services provided by those plans.
