QuoteBroker / Chamber Medical division announces it’s partnership with the California Healthy Families program. Effective 11/01/2007 qualified families may apply for low cost children’s medical, dental and vision insurance coverage.

The Healthy Families Program is low cost insurance that provides health, dental and vision coverage to children who do not have insurance today and do not qualify for no-cost Medi-Cal.
 
How will Healthy Families provide health care for my children?
 
When you enroll your children in Healthy Families, you choose the health, dental and vision insurance plans. The plans provide the health, dental and vision coverage for your children. This insurance pays most of your children’s costs for visits to doctors, dentists, and specialists. The insurance plans also contract with clinics, laboratories, pharmacies and hospitals for your children’s health care.
 
Who may qualify?

• Children up to their 19th birthday.
• Children in the family without employer-sponsored health insurance in the last three months.
• Children living in California.
• Children who are not eligible for or are enrolled in no-cost Medi-Cal.
• Children who meet citizenship or immigration rules.
• Children born to mothers enrolled in the Access for Infants and
• Mothers (AIM) Program, who are not enrolled in the no-cost full scope Medi-Cal Program or employer-sponsored health insurance.
• Children in families with incomes within the Healthy Families Guidelines.

Who can apply?
 
Parents, legal guardians, stepparents, foster parents or caretaker relatives may apply for insurance for a child living in their home. Only the parents’ income will be considered. If you are a legal guardian, step parent, foster parent or caretaker relative who lives with a child, your income will not be used to qualify the child for Healthy Families.
 
If you are age 18 or under, you may qualify to apply for your own insurance if you meet the income requirements.
 
Minors who do not live with parents, legal guardians, step parents, foster parents or caretaker relatives may be eligible for Healthy Families for themselves or their children if they meet all other requirements.
