Children’s Health Insurance provides medical, dental and vision benefits to children under age 19 through the Medicaid program. There are no deductibles or co-pays. The insurance is free or low-cost depending on your family’s gross monthly income.
If your family’s countable income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, the coverage is free of charge. If your family’s countable income is between 200% – 250% of the Federal Poverty Level, there is a monthly premium of $15 per child, with a $45 per month family maximum. The income guidelines below can help you determine if your child may be eligible for the free or low-cost program.
Use the Benefit Finder to see if your children may qualify and fill-out an application for Children’s Health Insurance.
If you live in King County and your income is over the guidelines below, visit KC KIDS or call (866) 839-9466 to see if you qualify for no-cost dental care coverage.

Prior to July 1, 2007, this health insurance was available to non-citizen children only if their family’s countable income was below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level. Effective July 1, 2007, the income limit went up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Level. If you applied in the past for your non-citizen children and were denied, you should use the Benefit Finder to see if they may be eligible now.
