Access to quality healthcare is fundamental to every child’s well-being and future. Healthy children are better equipped to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Regular check-ups, preventative care, and timely medical attention when sick or injured are essential for maintaining their health. The All Kids Family Care Program in Alabama is designed to ensure that children have access to these vital healthcare services.
Important Updates for ALL Kids Families
Before we delve into the details of the All Kids family care program, it’s important to be aware of a recent change regarding tax form 1095-B.
1095-B Form Update: What Families Need to Know
For the current tax year, most individuals will not require form 1095-B when filing their taxes. As a result, All Kids will no longer automatically mail out the 1095-B form. If you specifically need a copy of your 1095-B form for your records, you can easily request one by contacting All Kids Customer Service directly at 1-888-373-5437.
Ensuring Continuous Coverage: Premium Payment Reminder
To guarantee a smooth and timely renewal of your child’s healthcare coverage with the All Kids family care program, it’s crucial to ensure your premium for the previous coverage year is paid in full before the renewal process begins. You can conveniently make premium payments online through the official All Kids website by clicking on the “Pay My Premium” link. Please allow at least 24 hours for your payment to be processed within the system before submitting your renewal application. Submitting your renewal before the payment is processed may result in denial due to non-payment.
Important Security Notice: Always be vigilant about potential scams. All Kids will never request premium payments, money, or sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers via phone or text message. Furthermore, All Kids will not threaten legal action through phone calls or text messages. If you receive any such communication, it is likely fraudulent.
