YouthCare

YouthCare is a healthcare program and managed care brand serving current and former youth in care in Illinois, with a focus on medical, behavioral health, dental, vision, and pharmacy coverage. The program supports children and young adults in the custody of, or formerly served by, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services through care coordination, provider network access, and member support services. YouthCare works with foster families and providers to help members obtain appointments, medication access, and specialty care. It is not a biotech or drug-development company; rather, it is a healthcare coverage and care-navigation organization operating in the child welfare population.
