The program allows you to get extra services, such as dental and eyeglasses, not covered by Basic Health. The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) determines eligibility for Basic Health Plus. Children enrolled in the Basic Health Plus program will get letters and a Medical ID card from DSHS to cover the extra services.
