What is FamilyCare?
FamilyCare offers healthcare coverage to parents living with their children 18 years old or younger. FamilyCare also covers relatives who are caring for children in place of their parents.
What health services does FamilyCare cover?
Like All Kids, FamilyCare covers doctor visits, dental care, specialty medical services, hospital care, emergency services, prescription drugs and more.
What if you have health insurance?
If you have health insurance and your family income qualifies for FamilyCare Share, Premium or Rebate, you have a choice. FamilyCare Rebate helps to pay for your insurance premiums. FamilyCare Share and FamilyCare Premium provide a medical card to help cover medical services that your plan does not cover.
Who can get FamilyCare?
Parents can get FamilyCare if they live in Illinois and meet the FamilyCare income limits. They must be U.S. citizens or meet immigration requirements. All Kids or FamilyCare health benefits will not affect your immigration status unless you receive services in a nursing home or mental health facility.
How much income can a parent have?
Parents can have income up to the amounts shown in the income guideline chart. Check the income limit for the size of your family.
What does FamilyCare cost?
There are small co-pays, from $2 to $3, for doctor visits and prescriptions. Parents in FamilyCare Premium pay a monthly premium, from $15 to $40, depending on the number of family members covered.
