Child Health Insurance
Your children may be eligible to get free or low cost insurance through Virginia’s Medicaid/FAMIS programs (FAMIS stands for Family Access to Medical Insurance Security).
Eligibility is based on a family’s current monthly income — See the income chart for eligibility limits.
Medicaid/FAMIS insurance covers most medical and dental care — and eyeglasses too. With Medicaid/FAMIS coverage, kids get access to:
- doctor visits
- hospital care
- dental care
- prescription medicines
- eyeglasses
- immunizations

Medicaid/FAMIS are comprehensive health insurance. It helps children stay healthy and get care when they are sick.
