NEW YORK -- From a child's first steps, to the walk across the graduation stage, parents do their best to help their children get a healthy start in life.

Ongoing routine and preventive health care is key when it comes to building a foundation for good health that can last a lifetime. This includes regular checkups, dental and eye care, immunizations, and a doctor who knows your child's health history.

We've come a long way toward the goal of ensuring that kind of quality health care for every child. But today, there are still more than 100,000 children across New York State who do not consistently get the care they need to grow up happy, healthy, and strong.

Fidelis Care is working to help every child get the health coverage they need. Through the New York State-sponsored Child Health Plus (CHP) program, Fidelis Care provides quality, affordable health insurance coverage for children under the age of 19.

Almost every child in New York State is eligible for Child Health Plus, regardless of family income or immigration status. The cost of your monthly premium could be free or as low as $9, depending on your income.

Covered Benefits include:
Checkups and well child visits
Immunizations
X-rays and lab tests
Hospital and emergency care
Prescription drug coverage
Vision and dental care
Speech and hearing therapy
And much more!

Our representatives are attending hundreds of events throughout the summer to answer questions, share information, and make it as easy as possible for parents to learn about quality health insurance for their children.
