New MexiKids and New MexiTeens (state CHIP progam)
New Mexico Human Services Department
New MexiKids and New MexiTeens are no cost or low cost health care coverage programs for children and young adults under 19 years of age. The programs are some of the many that are available to New Mexico's families from the Human Services Department's Insure New Mexico! Solutions. New MexiKids and New MexiTeens are part of the New Mexico Medicaid program that is also known as Salud!. Health care coverage for New MexiKids and New MexiTeens helps pay for regular check-ups, doctor visits, dental visits, hospital care, prescriptions, glasses, and hearing and vision exams. Other services may also be covered if they are medically necessary. Eligibility for all Insure New Mexico! Solutions programs is based on citizenship, residency, income and other factors (such as resource levels, medical factors, and sometimes, an individual's current health insurance coverage status). If your family's household income is less than 185% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), health care services can be provided to your child through New MexiKids and New MexiTeens at no cost to you. If your household income is between 185% – 235% of the FPL, some of the health care services your child receives may require a low co-payment at the time those services are provided.
