Cost
How much does Healthy Families cost?
Premiums
The monthly premium for children is determined
by income category, which includes family size, family income,
and the health plan
you choose. You pay a monthly premium between $4 and $24 for each
child, up to a maximum of $72 for all children in a family enrolled
in the
Healthy Families Program.
Is there an additional cost for my child to get these services?
Yes. In addition to the monthly premiums,
you pay a co-payment of $10 at the time of services for children's
benefits.
Some services are free. No individual charge will exceed $10 for
children's benefits.
The maximum co-payment amount per benefit
year that you pay for health care services is $250 per family.
A benefit year is from July 1 to June 30. Keep all your receipts
for the co-payments you make at the time of receiving health care services.
Let your health plan know if you reach the maximum $250 for the
benefit year of coverage. Then you will not have to
make any more $10 co-payments for health care services until the
next benefit year of coverage.
