Common use of CHIP Program Eligibility Clause in Contracts

CHIP Program Eligibility. In the traditional CHIP Program, children are eligible from birth through the month of their 19th birthday if they reside in families with incomes at or below 200 percent of the FPL, provided they are not eligible for Medicaid. CHIP-eligible children who reside in any part of a CHIP Service Area must enroll in a CHIP MCO. Pregnant women who are ineligible for Medicaid due to income (whose income is greater than 185 percent and up to 200 percent of FPL) or immigration status (and whose income is below 200 percent of FPL) receive prenatal care for their unborn children through the CHIP Perinatal Program. Members receiving the CHIP Perinatal benefit are exempt from the 90-day waiting period, the asset test, and all cost-sharing, including enrollment fees and co-pays, for the duration of their coverage period.
