Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

The Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provides health coverage for children in families with limited income who do not qualify for Medicaid. It helps pay for doctor visits, hospital stays, vaccinations, and other medical services, ensuring children stay healthy and receive necessary care. Funded jointly by federal and state governments, CHIP aims to make healthcare affordable for families, reducing barriers to accessing essential health services for children. Enrollment processes vary by state, but the program is designed to offer comprehensive coverage tailored to the needs of children from low- to moderate-income families.
