The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) is a health insurance program for children who do not qualify for Medicaid but whose families cannot afford private health insurance. SCHIP provides comprehensive health coverage for children, including doctor visits, hospital stays, prescription drugs, and dental and vision care.
Applying for SCHIP is easy. Families can apply online, by mail, or over the phone. The application process is simple and straightforward, and most families are approved for coverage within a few weeks. Families who qualify for SCHIP can save hundreds of dollars each year on their children’s health care costs.
