Program Description

The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provides health coverage to nearly eight million children and families with incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid, but can’t afford private coverage.

Some benefits covered through CHIP, include:

  • Routine check-ups

  • Doctor visits
  • Prescriptions
  • Dental and vision care
  • Inpatient and outpatient hospital care
  • Laboratory and X-ray services
