Your child may be eligible for free or low-cost health insurance that pays for visits to the doctor and dentist, stays in the hospital, eyeglasses, prescriptions, and more.
Eligibility depends mainly on two things.
1. Children under 19 are eligible.
2. Your income must fall within these guidelines:
| Family size | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Monthly Income |
$2,419 | $3,048 | 3,678 | $4,307 |
