Healthy Kids

Last updated on January 22, 2025

Overview

The Healthy Kids Program provides coverage for basic dental treatment, optical care and hearing assistance to children in low-income families, who are not in receipt of income assistance, disability assistance or hardship assistance.

As of January 1, 2020, eligibility criteria for the Healthy Kids Program is based on eligibility for Medical Services Plan (MSP) Supplementary Benefits. This is due to the elimination of MSP premiums and premium assistance programs.  There is no change to the financial eligibility criteria for Healthy Kids coverage as the income test for supplementary benefits is equivalent to the previous premium assistance income test.
