DC Healthy Families is a program of the DC
Department of Health, Medical Assistance Administration, and it provides free
health insurance for you and the most important people in your life -- your
kids. That's right. The money you earn from jobs that do not provide
insurance, or from self-employment, alimony or child support, survivor benefits
or other sources, may now allow you to receive free health insurance if it meets
DC Healthy Families income guidelines*.
DC Healthy Families provides free coverage for doctors visits, vision and dental
care, prescription medicines, hospitalization and more, for working families
who:
- Live in the District of Columbia,
- Do not have health insurance,
- * Have incomes up to 200% of the Federal
Poverty Level (FPL).
- * Have incomes up to 300% of the Federal
Poverty Level (FPL) if covering children only.
Once you apply for DC Healthy Families, it only takes about a month to find out
if your family qualifies for benefits through one of three excellent health
plans:
