Hawki stands for Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa. Hawki is free or low-cost health and dental insurance for the children and teenagers of eligible Iowa families, from their first birthday through the month that they turn 19. 

Hawki offers two types of plans – a medical and dental plan, and a dental only plan.  The monthly cost is based on a family’s size and income - no family pays more than $40 a month. See the income guidelines chart below for more details.
