Youth Partners

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) works with youth-focused national and local organizations to ensure that families with children and young adults know about their health insurance options and how to enroll in the health care coverage option that is best for them. 

Partners can learn more about the health coverage options available to youth and young adults at HealthCare.gov/young-adults. 

Coverage to Care 

Coverage to Care (C2C) is an initiative, developed by CMS, to help people understand their health coverage and connect them to the primary care and the preventive services that are right for them, so they can live a long and healthy life. More information about C2C and resources about accessing care can be found at CMS.gov/priorities/health-equity/c2c .

The Connecting Kids to Coverage National Campaign 

The Connecting Kids to Coverage National Campaign is a national outreach and enrollment initiative focused on reaching out to families with children and teens eligible for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
