Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is Pennsylvania's initiative to provide health insurance to children and teens who are not eligible for, or enrolled in, medical assistance.

There are a lot of reasons kids might not have health insurance — maybe their caregiver lost a job, doesn't have health insurance at work, or other options just cost too much. Whatever the reason, CHIP may be able to help.

Nine out of 10 CHIP parents report satisfaction with their child's health plan, and 96% received an appointment for checkups and vaccinations as soon as they wanted.
