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.

People who qualify for Healthy Families get 12months of health coverage, as long as they pay the

monthly premiums. They get health services through the health, dental

and vision plans that work with Healthy Families. Each member can choose his or her own plan.

? Healthy Families members pay a low monthly premium.
