The Healthy Families Program offers low cost insurance for children and teens up to age 19. It provides health, dental and vision coverage to children who meet the program rules and do not qualify for free Medi-Cal. 

How does Healthy Families work?

People who qualify for Healthy Families get 12 months of health coverage, as long as they pay the monthly premiums. They get health services through the health, dental and visions plans that work with Healthy Families. Each member can choose his or her own plan.

• Healthy Families members pay a low monthly premium.

• The Healthy Families plans cover most visits to doctors, dentists and specialists, and prescriptions.

• The Healthy Families plans cover the costs of hospital care, labs and preventive care.

• Each county in California has different plans to choose from.

If you have questions, call 1-800-880-5305, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., or on Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The call is free.
