Families in the U.S. seeking health insurance coverage

InsureKidsNow.gov provides information about Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) services for families who need health insurance coverage. These programs are designed to be affordable for families who are not able to afford health insurance coverage in the private market or do not have coverage available to them.

• CHIP provides free or low-cost health coverage for children up to age 19; CHIP covers U.S. citizens and eligible immigrants.
• Each state designs its own CHIP, including eligibility, benefits, premiums and cost-sharing, and application and renewal procedures.
• States have different income eligibility guidelines for uninsured children and teens. Please see the website for more information.
