Welcome!

We believe that RIte Care:

Works For Children In Need

It helps children and their families stay healthy by offering them health insurance. By using private managed care plans to efficiently provide the coverage, the program has had nationally recognized success in improving the health of its target population.

Works For Tax Payers

It’s a good investment. RIte Care is a highly efficient program that is very cheap considering all the good it does. Because it is funded through federal matching funds, approximately 52 cents on every dollar spent on RIte Care/RIte Share is paid for by the Federal Government. The State only pays 48 cents for every dollar allocated to RIte Care. There is no cheaper way to cover low-income children and their families.

Works For Rhode Island

It is a program that is important for everyone. RIte Care keeps children for all families healthy by ensuring that those in need have access to necessary vaccinations and medical treatment. Even if a family can afford insurance, they benefit from RIte Care. Their children go to school and play with children who would not have access to care without the program. By providing these low-income children with health insurance, RIte Care benefits not just them but every other child and person who interacts with them. It’s a win-win situation.
