Medicaid provides health coverage for children who meet certain eligibility criteria. Medicaid offers different programs to provide health coverage for children in Idaho:
- Children with income under 190 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL)
- Children with disabilities
- Children with behavioral health needs
If you or someone in your family needs healthcare, you should apply for Medicaid even if you are not sure you qualify. Some income and resources are not counted when determining your eligibility. For example, owning your home might not prevent you from getting Medicaid. Children with household income over 138 percent of FPL may qualify for the Children Health Insurance Plan (CHIP). See more information about CHIP under Medicaid programs.
