Covering Children and Pregnant Women
with Affordable Health Insurance
A Service of the Commonwealth of Virginia
FAMIS is Virginia's health insurance program for children. It makes health care affordable for children of eligible families. FAMIS covers all the medical care growing children need to avoid getting sick, plus the medical care that will help them if they do get sick or get hurt.
There are no enrollment costs or monthly premiums for FAMIS. For some services, the family will have to pay a co-payment. Most co-payments are just $2.00 or $5.00. Some services, like regular check-ups, are free. Click here for more information.
The Informational Flyer is a one page overview of the FAMIS and FAMIS Plus (Medicaid) programs and is available in a variety of languages.
