Iowa offers the Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa (Hawki) health insurance plan for the uninsured children and teens (ages 1-18 years) of working families. Many working families qualify. With Hawki, no family pays more than $40 a month, regardless of how many children they have. Some families on Hawki will pay nothing at all. The Iowa Medicaid and Hawki Income Guidelines table can help in determining the likely cost of Hawki insurance based on family size and income for eligible families.

Hawki offers a full benefit package for children and teens that covers doctor visits; inpatient and outpatient hospital services; vision, dental and hearing exams; vaccines and prescriptions; as well as mental health and substance care, just to name a few. SCHD can help with completing Hawki applications and connecting to Hawki resources, healthcare providers, and other community programs.
