What does CHIP (Children'S Health Insurance Program) mean?

Federal-state coverage for eligible children and, in some states, pregnant people whose household income is too high for Medicaid.

Illustration — not a plan price

The state application provides the current eligibility and cost decision because program details vary by state.

The actual plan document controls. Verify its definitions, network, exclusions, dates, and amounts before relying on the illustration.

Definitions here are never for sale — no plan is recommended on a comprehension page.
