What health services does FamilyCare cover?

Like KidCare, FamilyCare covers doctor visits, dental care, specialty medical services, hospital care, emergency services, prescription drugs and more.

Who can get FamilyCare?

Parents can get FamilyCare if they live in Illinois and meet the FamilyCare income limits. They must be U.S. citizens or meet immigration requirements. KidCare or FamilyCare health benefits will not affect your immigration status unless you receive services in a nursing home or mental health facility.
