Premium Assistance for Kids (PAK)

Presbyterian Health Plan participates in the Premium Assistance for Kids (PAK) program in conjunction with Insure New Mexico!, a division of the New Mexico Human Services Department. This program helps families purchase comprehensive health coverage for their uninsured children. In this state-funded initiative, the state pays up to 50 percent of the monthly premium for a comprehensive health plan for children who qualify. The parent or guardian pays the remaining monthly premium. Eligible children are enrolled in Presbyterian Insurance Company’s standard Individual Care Plan with a $500 deductible.

To qualify for this program, children must be:

• Under age 12
• Under age 18 if child has a sibling under age 12
• Not eligible for Medicaid due to amount of income; and
• Do not have any other healthcare coverage

How to apply

Contact the Insure New Mexico! Solutions Call Center at (888) 997-2583 to complete an application or visit the official PAK website.
