Make Sure Your Children Have Health Coverage This School Year

Going back to school looks a little different this year. As your children head back to school, Virginia Medicaid wants to help keep them protected by making sure they have quality health coverage. 


Plan for a Better Future

We can help you plan for the future. Medicaid coverage also includes family planning services. These services include education and support to help you decide if or when you want to have a baby. Lab testing, counseling, contraceptives, and more are covered.


Your Vision is Important

Medicaid coverage includes eye exams and treatment for all ages. Eyeglasses for individuals under the age of 21 are also covered. Health plans may offer added vision benefits above Medicaid like full or partial coverage for eyeglasses. Compare plans to see which benefits work best for you.


Take Advantage of Telehealth

Telehealth can help if you are struggling with long and frequent trips to receive care. Telehealth means some providers can use technology to provide many types of healthcare from a distance.
