Continuous eligibility for kids under age 6
Children eligible for free Apple Health for Kids will stay covered through the month they turn six years of age regardless of changes in household income. This is known as continuous eligibility. This change also applies to children enrolled in Children’s Institutional Medical, also known as Long-Term Family Medical (K01).
Continuous eligibility for Apple Health for Kids
Continuous eligibility for kids enrolled in the free Apple Health for Kids program changed with Apple Health redeterminations, which restarted after the public health emergency ended. Some kids may lose coverage during the renewal process until systems are upgraded to support this new policy. If this happens, processes are in place to reinstate coverage.
