Changes to Medicaid and CHP+ Mean More Families Eligible | On May 1, 2010 important changes to Colorado's Family Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) programs went into effect. These changes mean that more children and families are now eligible for the state's health insurance programs.
Family Medicaid is the state's health insurance for low-income families. CHP+ provides low-cost health and dental insurance to children and pregnant women in families who earn too much to join Medicaid, but not enough to afford private insurance. CHP+ pays for many health care services for children including well-child check ups, immunizations (shots), doctor visits, medications, mental health services, vision, and dental care. Well-child check ups are free for children enrolled in CHP+. Pregnant women are also eligible for benefits under CHP+, and all prenatal care visits are free for women enrolled in the CHP+ Prenatal Care Program.
Parenting Place is proud to provide Application Assistance for the Family Medicaid and CHP+ Programs. If you or a family you know does not have health insurance, or is struggling with the cost of health care, please call Karen at 303.449.0177 x.8. |
