Monthly fees depend on income level and range from $4 to $24 per child but no more than $72 per month for all children enrolled at one time, from one family. Some services are provided at no cost to you, though a co-payment (usually $5-$15) is sometimes required for services. For more specific information about your costs, please call one of our Certified Application Assistants at 1-866-682-9903.

Once your child is enrolled in Healthy Families, you will get a statement (bill) in the mail each month. Your payment will be due on the 20th of the month even if you do not receive a bill.

The Community Provider Plan is an option that offers the same services as the more expensive plans, but will cost you less out-of-pocket. You may also save by paying your monthly fees three months at a time, or by paying with electronic fund transfer. Call us at 1-866-682-9903 for more information about these cost-saving options.
