Even though it’s been available to New York State residents since 1991, with more than 390,000 children enrolled statewide, many New Yorkers still don’t realize they can take advantage of this program.

5. Your child is covered in an emergency. If your kids or teens participate in sports or other high-energy activities, you might wonder what would happen should your child needed an ambulance ride or emergency room visit to treat an injury.
