The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is available statewide and provides free or low cost insurance for uninsured children who do not qualify for MA.
Children must have no other health insurance to qualify for CHIP. CHIP provides preventative and primary care services, inpatient and outpatient services, dental and orthodontia services, vision services and prescriptions.
Free CHIP is available to children up to age 19 whose family income is 208% or less of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines (FPIG). Low-cost CHIP is available to children up to age 19 whose family income is 208% to 314% of the FPIG. Full-cost CHIP is available for families with income over 314% FPIG.
For detailed information about CHIP please see the CHIP Handbook.
