Self-Pay and Public Insurance Options
Do you need assistance in acquiring health insurance for your child?
Your child may qualify for Colorado medical insurance programs at a reduced or free cost to you due to changes in healthcare reform. While historically you may not have met the financial guidelines, changes effective May 2010 via the Affordable Care Act make it easier to qualify. Both Child Health Plus (CHP+) and Medicaid provide quality health and dental care coverage.
