CoverKids provides comprehensive health coverage for children 18 and under and maternity coverage for pregnant women.

The coverage includes an emphasis on preventive health services and coverage for physician services, hospitals, vaccinations, well-child visits, healthy babies program, developmental screenings, mental health vision care and now dental services. Coverage for children is similar to the benefits offered to dependents of state employees. Refer to the benefit plan Tennessee has proposed to the federal government for more information on covered services.

No monthly premiums will be charged for those that qualify under 250% of the federal poverty level. There are low co-pays for sick visits and medications.

Families above the income limit who wish to purchase coverage for their child can “buy in” to the program by paying monthly premiums. The premiums for children over 250% of the FPL are approximately $225 per month per child for the year 2008.
