CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program of Pennsylvania)
Free or low-cost health insurance may be available to your family through the Children's Health Insurance Program of Pennsylvania (CHIP) . CHIP provides insurance to families whose income is above Medical Assistance limits, but cannot afford to purchase insurance privately. Routine checkups, immunizations, hospitalization, dental exams, eye exams and eyeglasses, prescriptions, hearing services, and other health services are covered under CHIP. Call the Healthy Kids Network, 1-800-986-KIDS, to find out if your family qualifies for CHIP.
