What is Healthy Kids?
Healthy
Kids is free or low-cost health care coverage for Oregon children who
don't have health insurance.
Even
kids with current health conditions can enroll. Eligibility
is mostly based on income.
Coverage
lasts for at least one full year, and can be longer, so long as the child
is still eligible.
If
you thought you would not qualify - or in the past you did not qualify -
please fill out an application.

Who Qualifies?
Three key things determine if your child
qualifies for no-cost or low-cost coverage: age, residency and income.
- Child must be 18 or younger
- Child must live in Oregon and be a legal
resident
- Household income can't be more than 300%
of federal poverty level, which is $66,000 for a family of four.
- Income level depends on family size, so
for smaller families, income is less. For larger families,
income is more.

care kids need:
