Questions? Your local Hawki outreach coordinator can help. Find your coordinator at dhs.iowa.gov/hawk-i under “outreach.”

I have health insurance but not dental insurance. Can I get just dental coverage through Hawki?Yes. Hawki offers dental-only coverage through Delta Dental of Iowa. Income guidelines for dental-only coverage are the same as regular Hawki. Some families don’t pay anything, and no family pays more than $20 per month for dental-only coverage.

How do I find out if I have health insurance?Ask your parents.

I’m healthy - do I really need health insurance?Yes! Anyone can get sick or have an accident, and medical care can be super expensive. Without insurance, medical bills for a broken arm can be $3,000 – enough for a new car down payment or a new computer and tablet!

What if I need health insurance, but I don’t want my friends to know I’m on Hawki?Your insurance is private. Hawki coverage is provided by one of these two Managed Care Organizations : Amerigroup Iowa, Inc. Iowa Total Care (coverage begins July 1, 2019)

Effective April 1, 2019
