Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), formerly known as the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), expands Medicaid coverage guidelines for children up to age 19. Through CHIP, children in households with family income between 185%-235% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPL) may be eligible for Medicaid coverage. Unlike traditional Medicaid coverage, CHIP requires nominal co-payments for some services received. For more information on CHIP, please click HERE.
