Children's Health Insurance Programs (CHIP) are state programs supported by federal funds that provide the children (usually up to age 19) of families that fall within published low-income guidelines with health insurance coverage at little or no cost to the child's family. The eligible child must be a state resident and a U.S. Citizen. In some sates, qualified immigrants are eligible.
CHIP usually covers preventive care such as routine well-child exams, dental, and vision as well as comprehensive major medical services and prescription drugs.
Premiums are usually nominal or free. Co-payments and coinsurance doesn't amount as much either.
Kids Care membership generally renews semi-annually or annually. Members can by re-qualify by completing an eligibility form.
