Child Health Insurance Help
Virginia's programs that help families obtain free or low-cost health insurance for their children are FAMIS and FAMIS Plus (FAMIS stands for Family Access to Medical Insurance Security).
The FAMIS programs can be a bridge to help children receive health insurance and health care until their parents are able to re-enter the workforce. Eligibility is based on a family's current monthly income -- A family of four earning up to $3,675/month may qualify.
FAMIS insurance covers doctor visits and hospital care, dental care and prescription medicines, eyeglasses, immunizations, regular check-ups and more.
For more information or help enrolling your children, find the organization in your area that provides help to families applying for FAMIS. You also can contact FAMIS directly at: 1-866-87FAMIS (1-866-873-2647). SignUpNow also may be of assistance. Contact them at: 1-804-828-6062.
