For more than two decades, CHIP has provided health coverage to children in families with low to moderate incomes. Each state has the option to cover its CHIP population within its Medicaid program, design and structure a separate CHIP program, or establish a combination program using both options. Some states also provide CHIP-funded coverage during pregnancy. NASHP has supported state efforts to improve children’s coverage since the inception of CHIP, and regularly convenes state officials working on children’s coverage issues.
