Who can join?
CHIP, brought to you by AmeriChoice®, is short for the Children's Health Insurance Program. The CHIP program provides health insurance to uninsured children and teens. There are a lot of reasons kids might not have health insurance - maybe their parents lost a job, maybe their parents don't have health insurance at work or maybe it just costs too much. Whatever the reason, CHIP may be able to help. | |  |
For most families, all of this comes at no cost. That's right - great health insurance for free. You get the same health insurance card as everyone else, so no one needs to know you have CHIP.
You might think that your children or teens aren't eligible. A lot of parents are surprised to learn that CHIP can help their families. If you qualify, you can get CHIP for free or for a small monthly payment. Either way, no cost or low cost, there are no co-payments or deductibles.
