FAMIS

Federal Access to Medical Insurance Security (FAMIS) is a national and state program that allows for children living without private health insurance, but whose parents earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, can gain government funded health insurance.  This program was designed to protect children, and to help guarantee access to health care in the community.  Their website  www.famis.org provides information on how one qualifies for FAMIS, as well what FAMIS will cover. The website also has tips on how to stay healthy.  FAMIS is a great resource for those children living without access to health insurance.
