Have you tried healthy families? It's very good,no charge office visits and very good dental. The fees are minimal, if any. The most you can pay a month is something like $9 per child. If you don't qualify they will refer you to medi-cal.

I don't know if Health Families is in your area but it is inexpensive insurance for children. Have you tried to qualify for Medi-Cal?

I've heard that Healthy Families is a good insurance company. A friend of mine has it for her son and loves it! I don't know the exact website, so maybe Google it. Hope this helps a little. Sorry I don't know more about it. :)

If you are low enough income, you may qualify for no cost Medi-cal....you would have to contact the welfare department and tell them your entire life history.
However, if your total household income is too high for medi-cal requirements, you can apply for Healthy Families....they're not free, but I only pay $9 a month for my son and we have more options as far as doctors.....it took me months to get my son on there but it's well worth it.
The thing I didn't like about Medi-cal was that they want to know EVERYTHING about your life and they seemed really invasive, because the state needs to justify why they give individuals free health coverage....
For Healthy Families, you have to first have proof of denial for Medi-cal.
With either one, be prepared to fill out lots of forms and wait a long time to get coverage (unless you qualify for emergency coverage through medi-cal) and get lost of copies of lots of forms, such as birth certificates, ID's, SS cards, proof of incomes, etc etc etc....
Good luck!

You should apply for Medi-cal or Healthy Families. This insurance helps with everything.

I think the only free health insurance you'll find is Medi-Cal. However, if you don't want to go to Medi-Cal, Healthy Families has a very good program which covers medical, dental and vision. Bad thing is you have to pay for it, although it's not a lot. It depends on your income and family size, but usually it's between $7 and $15, if I remember correctly.

I am not sure where you live but in California I looked up on the Web about Healthy Families. It can be of no cost or there might be a small monthly fee. For my 3 children I pay $14.00 monthly and I get a discount if I pay be debit card. I notice they have it in other states as well but I didn't pay attenetion which ones. Hope I could be of some help.

I have healthy families for my children, which is really low cost and great. If you qualify for medi-cal though it is also great. Here is a link for both: http://www.healthyfamilies.ca.gov/hfhome.asp
It can answer a lot of questions for you.
Hope it helps.

Hello you can look in healthy families, is a insurance plan that depending on your income can be from free to something like $15 a month.
My daughter is enrolled there, the application process was very easy. They have great doctors.

You can see it in www.healthyfamilies.ca.gov
