CaliforniaKids Healthcare Foundation was founded in
1992 with the mission to provide uninsured children access to basic health care services.
CaliforniaKids is an independent
non-profit organization that provides premium-subsidized, comprehensive preventive and primary health care services to children
ages 2 through 18.
CaliforniaKids is a broad-based community program partnering with corporations, private industry,
foundations, health care providers, and community organizations.
CaliforniaKids has served more than 65,000 children
who are not eligible for government-sponsored health care programs and whose parents cannot afford the cost of private medical
insurance.
CaliforniaKids partners with community organizations
to identify and enroll eligible children.
Once enrolled, a child receives an Identification Card
that entitles him/her to coverage.
CaliforniaKids has contracted over 1,000 health care providers and 80% of the pharmacies
throughout California.
The program is subsidized by corporations, foundations, and individuals.
A monthly shared- premium payment is required of participating families. In addition, co-payments ranging from $5-$50 are
required at the time services are rendered.
