Health Check and Health Choice Outreach

Health Check (Medicaid for Children) and Health Choice are publicly funded children's health insurance programs open to North Carolina residents who meet income, age and immigration guidelines. In North Carolina, these programs are marketed together since the application process is the same and children who may be ineligible for one program may be eligible for the other. The Division of Public Health, Children & Youth Branch coordinates the state's public outreach campaign with special focus on reducing health disparities among African American, American Indian, Latino/Hispanic, and newcomers (refugees, immigrants) to our state.
