Your Child Can Have Health Care! Healthy Kids insurance can help!
HEALTHY KIDS PROVIDES:
· Health care for children & teens 19 & younger.

· Medical, dental & vision care; regular checkups; preventive care; prescription drugs; mental health and chemical dependency services; and medical equipment and supplies.
Did you know…
· That children with health insurance are more likely to receive regular preventative care and therefore less likely to end up getting expensive treatment in an emergency room.
· That covering children is inexpensive compared to the cost of letting them remain uninsured, yielding economic benefits over a lifetime.
· That healthy kids are less likely to suffer from ear aches, belly aches, and other ailments that distract kids in class and interfere with learning.
· That healthy kids miss fewer days of school and are more likely to get good sleep, keeping them attentive in class and ready to learn.
We know an education is the best gift we can give our children. We also know that healthy kids learn better and healthy kids start with health coverage that their families can afford. Oregon Healthy Kids is here to help with a new program for Oregon’s uninsured children and teens up to 19 years of age that provides no-cost and low-cost health care coverage.
Healthy Kids provides access to health care in three ways:
No-Cost: The plan provides free coverage through the Oregon Health Plan for children in families with lower incomes ($44,000 for a family of four).
Low-Cost: The program offers families earning between $44,100 and $66,000 per year a state plan or a subsidy to help pay for coverage through an employer-sponsored plan.
Full-Cost: For children in families with higher incomes, the program offers access to a number of plans, collectively called KidsConnect. These families pay full premiums, but it is a good option for families with insufficient or no insurance or for kids who have a pre-existing condition.
We will come to your community! We provide on-site help to businesses who want to provide their employees affordable health care options for their children. We can bring applications to you and assist families in filling them out.
