What is All Kids |
Governor
Blagojevich’s All Kids Program is a complete healthcare program for
every child in Illinois. Illinois is the first state in the nation to
ensure that every child, regardless of medical conditions or income, has
access to healthcare.
|
|
What Does All Kids Cover |
All Kids covers
all the healthcare a child may need. All Kids pays for doctor visits,
hospital visits, dental care, vision care, prescription drugs, medical
equipment, mental health services and much more.
|
|
How Does it Work |
All Kids will
cost most families a lot less than private insurance. For instance, a
family of four that earns $50,000 a year will pay $40 a month for each
child plus a $10 co-pay for each doctor visit. A family of four that
earns $29,000 a year has no monthly payment and pays a $2 co-pay for
each
doctor visit.
All Kids has an
annual limit on the total co-pays most families have to pay for their
children’s healthcare. Total costs for each family vary by income.

Who is Eligible |
Children age 18
or younger who live with their families in Illinois and who need health
insurance can get All Kids.
|
|
What if my children have health insurance |
If your family
has health insurance and your monthly income qualifies for Family
Care/All Kids Share, Premium Level 1 or Rebate,
you can choose the plan that is best for your family. Family
Care/All Kids Share and All Kids Premium provide a medical card to help
cover services for your children that your plan does not cover. Family
Care/All Kids Rebate reimburses the policyholder for a portion of the
premium they pay for health insurance. If you want to apply for the
Family Care/All Kids Rebate plan, have your employer or insurance agent
complete Part B of the Rebate Form.
