Program Description
The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is a partnership between the federal and state governments that provides health coverage to uninsured children whose families earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, but too little to afford private health coverage. Benefits vary by state and by the type of CHIP program, but all states provide comprehensive coverage like immunizations and well-baby/well-child care at no cost. The federal government establishes general guidelines for the administration of CHIP benefits. However, specific eligibility requirements to get CHIP benefits, and the type and scope of services provided, are determined by each individual state. You must check with the CHIP office in the state you live in to confirm if your family is eligible to get benefits. These programs may be called different names in your state. To find information about the Medicaid and CHIP programs in your state, visit InsureKidsNow.gov or call 1-877-KIDS-NOW (1-877-543-7669). When you call, you’ll be connected to someone in your state who can help you learn whether your children may qualify and help you enroll them
