Under the current Family Access to Medical Insurance Security Plan, if a family chooses to participate in ESHI and ESHI is deemed cost-effective, the Department of Medical Assistance Services must contribute to the cost of ESHI for eligible dependent children for those program participants that have access to ESHI.
