HMK is a free or low-cost health coverage plan. The plan provides health coverage to eligible Montana children and teenagers up to age 19. A child can qualify for HMK based on family size and income (see chart below). There are no pre-existing condition limitations.

Some parents share in the cost of their children's health care by paying a small co-payment when care is received. However, total co-payments for a benefit year will not exceed $215 per family.

Applications for HMK are available online, by mail by calling 1-877-KidsNow (877)-543-7669, and in all Montana communities. Locations include county Offices of Public Assistance, health departments, health care facilities, WIC offices, Head Start facilities, Indian Health Services, and many more community locations.

The HMK Income chart is based on Federal guidelines that are adjusted every year. The HMK Income Chart is an accurate eligibility guide effective October 1, 2010.

Children may be eligible for HMK even if income is higher than listed, depending on the number of household members working and dependent care paid.

For more information on HMK and other health care programs, call the HMK Family Health Line at 1-877-KidsNow (877)-543-7669
