To help ensure their kids make the grade, parents need to first do their homework when it comes to health coverage. To make sure you have assessed your coverage options, keep in mind these health care coverage questions and answers:
What do Medicaid and CHIP cover?
Medicaid and CHIP provide comprehensive coverage for children and teens nationwide who qualify. This includes routine check-ups, doctor visits, prescriptions and immunizations, dental and vision care, and emergency services, all at little or no cost to you or your family.
How do I know if my child is eligible?
In most states, children and teens up to age 19 are eligible to enroll. Depending on your income, many families qualify for free or low-cost health coverage.
Once enrolled, how long is my child eligible for coverage?
Children and teens can stay covered for as long as they qualify. You'll need to renew their coverage once a year.
How do I apply?
You can apply online, over the phone, by mail or in-person with your state's Medicaid or CHIP agency or visit the "Find Coverage for Your Family" section on InsureKidsNow.gov. For more information, call 1-877-KIDS-NOW (1-877-543-7669).
When can I apply for enrollment?
Since there is no special open enrollment period for Medicaid or CHIP, you can enroll at any time.
