Health Program
Enrollment Passes Milestone
Family Health Plan today announced that enrollment in the Healthy
Kids
program has surpassed .10,000 members. Healthy Kids, at
www.scfhp.com,
the first program of its kind in the nation, offers
comprehensive
medical, dental
and vision coverage to children in
low- and middle-income families
who do not
qualify for public
programs.
At its inception, it was estimated that 18,000 children in
Santa Clara
County
qualified for the program. Since Jan. 2, 2001, 10,283 have
been
enrolled. By
this time next year, an estimated 14,000 children
are
projected
to be in the
program, which received its initial funding
from
tobacco settlement
money,
Proposition 10 cigarette taxes and
a
donation from Santa Clara
Family Health
Foundation.
