Your customers want to keep their children healthy, and one of the best ways to do this is by providing them with access to affordable health care. Fortunately, the state of Florida is committed to helping parents provide their children with this essential service through its Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This program offers benefits to qualifying families and helps them to secure the medical care their children need. In this article, we’ll look closer at the CHIP program, its benefits, and how you can guide your client to enroll their child in this vital program.

What is Florida’s CHIP Program?

Florida’s CHIP program is an initiative that provides free or low-cost health insurance to qualifying children in the state. It is funded by the federal and state governments and administered by the Florida Healthy Kids Corporation. The program is designed to provide comprehensive healthcare coverage to children that are not eligible for Medicaid or have other health insurance. The benefits provided by CHIP include doctor visits, hospital stays, vaccinations, prescriptions, vision and dental care, mental health services, and other essential services.

Who Qualifies for the CHIP Program?

In order to qualify for the CHIP program, a child must meet specific eligibility criteria. Generally, children must be under the age of 19 and be residents of the state of Florida. They must also meet the financial requirements set out by the program, which is determined by the state’s Department of Children and Families. Additionally, undocumented immigrant children, foster children, and adopted children can all qualify for the program, regardless of their parent’s immigration status.

What Are the Benefits of the CHIP Program?

CHIP provides a range of benefits to families in the state of Florida, including access to quality health care for their children. The program covers a wide range of services, including primary care visits, hospital stays, prescription drugs, immunizations, vision and dental care, mental health services, and other essential services. The program also covers preventive care and screenings, such as physicals, vision and dental exams, and more. Additionally, CHIP provides access to specialists, such as pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, for those who need them. Finally, the program also covers the cost of transportation to get to and from the doctor.

Remember…

For families with children who are aging out of the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) due to age or income, there is an option to transition to an Affordable Care Act (ACA) plan. A Special Enrollment Period (SEP) is available for families to enroll in an ACA plan to ensure continuity of healthcare coverage for their children. This SEP can be used even if the normal Open Enrollment Period has ended. Families should contact their healthcare provider and research the ACA plans available in their area to identify the best option for their family.
