What is Illinois Health Connect?

Illinois Health Connect is a healthcare program of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS). Most people with an HFS or All Kids Medical Card MUST pick a Primary Care Provider (PCP) for their medical home. With a medical home, you and your family get quality healthcare to stay healthy.

When you enroll in Illinois Health Connect, you will have:

  • A "medical home" for all of your health care needs.
  • A Primary Care Provider (PCP) who gets to know you well.
  • Healthy Kids free checkups for kids, teens, and some young adults (birth through age 20). Young adults, age 19 and 20, may qualify as adults if they are a parent or caretaker relative of an eligible child, have a disability or are pregnant
  • An Illinois Health Connect Client Helpline for answers to questions and other help at 1-877-912-1999 (TTY: 1-866-565-8577). The call is free.

The hours of operation for the Illinois Health Connect Client Helpline are:
Monday - Friday 8:00a.m. to 7:00p.m.

After hours you can call the Helpline and leave a message. Your call will be returned the next business day.
