Health Care Coverage for Illinois Kids & Families

scroll down this page for info about  Mom & Babies and FamilyCare

All Kids y FamilyCare En Español

What is All Kids?
The All Kids Program is a complete healthcare program for every child in Illinois. Illinois is the first state in the nation to ensure that every child, regardless of medical conditions or income, has access to healthcare.

What Does All Kids Cover?
All Kids covers all the healthcare a child may need. All Kids pays for doctor visits, hospital visits, dental care, vision care, prescription drugs, medical equipment, mental health services and much more.

How Does it Work?
All Kids will cost most families a lot less than private insurance. For instance, a family of four that earns $50,000 a year will pay $40 a month for each child plus a $10 co-pay for each doctor visit. A family of four that earns $29,000 a year has no monthly payment and pays a $2 co-pay for each doctor visit.

All Kids has an annual limit on the total co-pays most families have to pay for their children’s healthcare. Total costs for each family vary by income.

Who is Eligible?
Children age 18 or younger who live with their families in Illinois and who need health insurance can get All Kids.

What if my children have health insurance?
If your family has health insurance and your monthly income qualifies for FamilyCare/All Kids Share, Premium Level 1 or Rebate, you can choose the plan that is best for your family. FamilyCare/All Kids Share and All Kids Premium provide a medical card to help cover services for your children that your plan does not cover. FamilyCare/All Kids Rebate reimburses the policyholder for a portion of the premium they pay for health insurance. If you want to apply for the FamilyCare/All Kids Rebate plan, have your employer or insurance agent complete Part B of the Rebate Form.

What About KidCare?
Illinois’ KidCare program is now part of All Kids! If you have KidCare, your children will get All Kids automatically. You do not have to reapply.

Can my child get Temporary All Kids Medical Benefits while you review my application?

Your child may get Temporary All Kids Medical Benefits while we review your application. If your child qualifies, you will get a Notice of Temporary All Kids Medical Benefits in the mail.
