As a caregiver, you have access to affordable, high-quality healthcare coverage. And now, with Coverage for Kids, caregivers’ children (also called ‘dependents’) are also eligible for medical and dental coverage! These benefits include preventive, vision, and dental care, regardless of what plan you’re on (reminder: your specific plan is determined by your zip code).

Preventive care is important to staying healthy and finding health problems early, when they’re easier to treat. It’s especially important to schedule regular check-ups for your children to track their development and teach healthy habits as they grow.

Protecting your smile is also important to your health. Preventive dental care supports oral and overall health. Building good dental habits starts early in life, so it’s important to schedule an appointment for your children for dental screenings right away!

Regular check-ups, dental cleanings, and eye exams help keep people of all ages healthy. Learn about the preventive care benefits available to caregivers and their kids.
