Program Description
The Delaware Healthy Children Program (DHCP) is a low cost health insurance program for Delaware’s uninsured children. If your child is found eligible for DHCP, you will pay $15 or $25 monthly depending on your income. The single monthly premium covers all the eligible children in your family. You must pay the monthly premium in order for the coverage to become effective. For every three months you pay in advance you get the fourth month of coverage free.
DHCP covers: doctor visits including check-ups, prescription drugs, eye exams and glasses, dental care, routine shots, tests and x-rays, speech/hearing therapy, hospital stays, specialist visits, chiropractic services, mental health counseling, treatment for drug and alcohol abuse.
