Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  How is Healthy Kids different from the Oregon Health Plan?

A: The Healthy Kids Program expands on the success of the Oregon Health Plan by offering more health coverage options.  It doesn't replace it.

Q: What will Healthy Kids cost me?

A: Healthy Kids cost ranges from free to an affordable fee.  If you qualify for the no-cost option, health coverage is free.  If you qualify for the low-cost option, you'll pay between 15-25% of the premium.  If you do not qualify for no-cost or low-cost, you can still benefit from Healthy Kids' affordable rates for health coverage.

Q:  My kids qualify because I lost my job, but what happens when I get a new one?
