\nCHILDREN’S MEDICAL INSURANCE<\/strong><\/h6>\n
New York City manages a type of public insurance known as Child Heath Plus. Depending on your income, the amount you pay each month may be fully subsidized, somewhat subsidized, or not subsidized at all. The monthly fee however is capped at three children for bigger families.<\/h6>\n
\n
\nYour child is eligible for Child Health Plus if:
\n\u2013 It is less than 19 years old.
\n\u2013 It is not eligible for Children Medicaid.
\n\u2013 It cannot be covered by other health insurance.
\n\u2013 It resides in New York State, no matter its immigration status.
\n
\nOne of the good things about Child Health Plus is that there are no annual deductibles. You can also sign up your kid for it at any time of the year through the NY State of Health.
\n
\nLearn if your child qualifies for either Medicaid or Child Health Plus at health.ny.gov\/health_care\/child_health_plus\/eligibility_and_cost<\/a>. For other questions, call this toll-free number: 1-800-698-4KIDS (1-800-698-4543), and ask about Child Health Plus or Children\u2019s Medicaid. If you are hearing impaired, call the TTY number, 1-877-898-5849.<\/p>\n
