 Healthy Steps is a program that provides health coverage to low-income children under the age of 19 who are not eligible for Medicaid and who have no health insurance.

  • A child whose family has a household income below 140% of the federal poverty level is eligible for Healthy Steps. For a family of 3, this works out to an annual income of about $21,938, or a monthly income of about $1,828.
  • Families may be required to pay co-payments for some services, ranging from $2 for prescription to $50 for hospitalization.
  • Healthy Steps provides comprehensive coverage to enrollees including clinic services, inpatient and outpatient hospitalization, prescriptions, mental health and substance abuse services, preventive well-child exams, immunizations, dental, and vision services.
