Healthy Kids & MIChild

If you are pregnant or have children under the age of 19, Michigan has programs to help you with medical expenses. Each program covers most health care services for children and pregnant women's needs including doctor visits, prescriptions, lab tests, specialty care, hospitalization, vision, hearing, and more!

Program eligibility is based on monthly gross income, family size and the age of the children. (Unborn children are included in the family size.)

Your application will first be considered for Healthy Kids (formerly MICHCare Medicaid) eligibility. If not eligible for Healthy Kids, determination will be made for MIChild.

The following monthly income limits are used to determine eligibility. (Many variables are considered when determining monthly income and all families and pregnant woman are encouraged to apply.)
