How parents and guardians can find the best medical coverage for their kids. America provides quality medical coverage for any child; however, these programs can be difficult to find. This useful book explains how the mechanics of basic group health plans, HMOs, PPOs and other insurance apply to children; lists and explores common federal and state programs that provide medical insurance for kids; compares these programs to each other-including clinics, teaching hospitals, paying cash-to help families create successful plans for getting kids medical care; and explains how families can access these programs. The Silver Lake Editors have been writing about insurance and personal finance issues for more than a decade.
