All kids need health coverage. Healthy Kids is a new program to provide no-cost and low-cost health coverage for Oregon children and teens up to age 19 who don't have health insurance. Kids with current health conditions can also apply.

Healthy Kids provides options for both private and public health care. The plan covers doctor visits, hospitalizations, prescriptions, dental and vision care. Coverage lasts for one full year.

No family makes too much money for Healthy Kids. For example, a family of four that earns up to $66,000 a year may qualify for the low-cost option.
