The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
If your children need health coverage, they may be eligible for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
CHIP provides low-cost health coverage to children in families that earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid. In some states, CHIP covers pregnant women. Each state offers CHIP coverage, and works closely with its state Medicaid program.
CHIP benefits are different in each state. But all states provide comprehensive coverage, including:
-Routine check-ups
-Immunizations
-Doctor visits
-Prescriptions
-Dental and vision care
-Inpatient and outpatient hospital care
-Laboratory and X-ray services
-Emergency services
