Illinois All Kids (CHIP)
Illinois’ All Kids offers health care coverage to Illinois children that includes doctors visits, hospital stays, prescription drugs, vision & dental care and eyeglasses. 1
All Kids are available at no cost or at low cost. Depending on your income level, you may have to pay an affordable monthly premium for coverage, with most in the $15 to $40 range.
These costs are called co-payments. But no family ever has to pay a co-payment for their children’s regular check-ups and immunizations.
