Denali KidCare provides health care coverage for children and teens under 19 years old and for pregnant women who are low income.  There is no cost to pregnant women and children under 18 who qualify.  Teens who are 18 and older may have to pay a small amount for some medical services.

If you think you may qualify for services, you can fill out an application and send it to the Department of Health & Social Services, Denali KidCare Office.

To continue receiving benefits, you must reapply every 12 months.  There are several ways to reapply. You normally will receive a form to fill out and send it back within the given time period.  If for some reason you do not receive the form you can contact Denali KidCare.  Within the Anchorage area, the phone number is 269-6529.  From other areas of the state, call 1-888-318-8890.
