Joining First Choice Kids

First Choice Kids is a free health plan provided by Select Health of South Carolina as part of Healthy Connections Kids. Healthy Connections Kids is a program that is designed to provide health insurance for children whose family earns too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford a private health insurance plan.

Eligibility

The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services determines eligibility for the Healthy Connections/First Choice Kids program. In general, children may qualify for the program if they:

• Are legal U.S. citizens and residents of South Carolina
• Have a Social Security card, or the family agrees to apply for the card
• The family's countable resources (such as cash and money in bank accounts) total $30,000 or less
• Are under 19 years of age
• Don’t have comprehensive health coverage
• Have been uninsured for three months unless their health coverage was involuntarily dropped

In addition, the child's family must also meet specific income guidelines.
