Once enrolled coverage lasts for a 12 month period if the child remains in the household and doesn't obtain other health coverage. Because the goal is to cover as many uninsured children as possible, families should report any changes in insurance coverage. Healthy Steps will contact each family by mail twice a year to verify children are still living in the home and they do not have other health coverage. Before the 12 month enrollment period ends, families will also be contacted about re-enrolling their children.

Of course you want your children to have health care coverage, but private insurance just might not be financially possible for your family right now. It is comforting to know there are programs like Healthy Steps available to help you protect your children and keep them healthy.

The Healthy Steps office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30am–4:30pm. You can call 877.KIDS.NOW [877.543.7669] with any questions and send your completed application to:
