CHIP and Children’s Medicaid

This information comes from https://yourtexasbenefits.hhsc.texas.gov/programs/health/child/childrens-medicaid

CHIP and Children’s Medicaid both cover services needed to keep kids healthy, including:

  • Dentist visits, cleanings, and fillings
  • Eye exams and glasses
  • Choice of doctors, regular checkups, and office visits
  • Prescription drugs and vaccines
  • Access to medical specialists and mental health care
  • Hospital care and services
  • Medical supplies, X-rays, and lab tests
  • Treatment of special health needs
  • Treatment of pre-existing conditions

If a child getting Medicaid has a disability or long-lasting illness, we will find out if the child can get special services.

Children’s Medicaid is free

If we find your child can get Children’s Medicaid, there is no cost to you for service.

CHIP fees vary based on your income

If we find your child can get CHIP, your enrollment fee and co-pays will be based on your family’s income. Enrollment fees are $50 or less per family, per year. Co-pays for doctor visits and prescriptions range from $3 to $5 for lower-income families and $20 to $35 for higher-income families.

Medicaid and CHIP

Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) offers low-cost health coverage for children from birth through age 18. CHIP is designed for families who earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford to buy private health coverage.

Click here to be taken directly to the CHIP website for more details.

Some people with little or no money might be able to get health benefits through a variety of state programs.

If you can’t get benefits from one of these programs, there are other options. Find health insurance by going to www.HealthCare.gov.

Click here to apply for Medicaid coverage. See if you qualify for Medicaid based on income alone.

Find out if your state is expanding Medicaid and if you qualify based only on your income. We’ll also tell you if you qualify for savings on a health insurance plan instead. Click here to find out.

Go to YourTexasBenefits.com and start an application for CHIP and Children’s Medicaid.

  • Either: (1) is age 65 or older, or (2) has a disability that is expected to last a year or longer.
  • Needs 30 or more days of non-stop, long-term care.
  • On SSI (Supplemental Security Income)

  • Don’t live all the time in a nursing home, state hospital, or intermediate care facility for people with intellectual disabilities.

Cost

A person who gets Medicaid for long-term care must pay part of the cost by first using all his or her own money, except for a small monthly amount for personal needs and costs like health insurance premiums.

People that “buy-in” to Medicaid coverage by making monthly payments.

If you have Medicaid coverage, there is a Medicare saving program that helps pay for some or all the Medicare monthly payments.
