What is Healthy Families
Healthy Families is a low cost insurance for children and teens. Healthy Families provides health, dental and vision coverage to children who do not have insurance and can not qualify for free Medi-Cal.
The Federal Government has recently issued the 2012 Federal Income Guidelines. Healthy Families has new income guidelines this year. For a child to qualify for Healthy Families, one of the requirements is that the family’s monthly income (after applicable deductions) must fall within the program guidelines. Applications received on or after April 1, 2012 will be based on the new 2012 FIGs.
