What is Hawki?

Hawki stands for Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa.  Hawki is free or low-cost health insurance for the children and teenagers of working Iowa families. Hawki offers two types of plans – a medical and dental plan, and a dental only plan.  The monthly cost is based on a family’s size and income - no family pays more than $40 a month and some families pay nothing at all. Connect with the local Hawki coordinator at 563-328-4114.
