CHIP programs by state

CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) provides affordable health coverage for children in low- to middle-income families. Each state manages its own CHIP program, which may vary in coverage details, costs, and enrollment processes but generally offers services like doctor visits, immunizations, and preventive care. Funded jointly by states and the federal government, CHIP aims to ensure children have access to necessary healthcare regardless of family income, reducing financial barriers. The program helps bridge gaps in health coverage for children who do not qualify for Medicaid but still need affordable, comprehensive medical services.
