CHIP Covers all uninsured kids and teens in Pennsylvania. No family makes too much money to qualify for CHIP.

If your kids need health insurance, CHIP is worth looking into. We guarantee access to quality health care coverage for your children. In fact, your kids may be able to continue visiting the same doctors they see now.

We cover everything from doctor visits, immunizations, emergency care, prescriptions, dental and eye care - just to name a few.
Your child may be enrolled in Medical Assistance if your income is below CHIP guidelines.

No family makes too much money for CHIP because there are no income limits! For most families, CHIP is free - others low cost.
