What is the Difference Between Keystone HMO CHIP and Medicaid?

  • Medicaid is health coverage for individuals, including children, pregnant women, parents, and seniors who meet certain maximum income thresholds or have certain disabilities.
  • Keystone HMO CHIP provides health coverage for children and teens up to age 19 in families whose income is too high to qualify for Medicaid. Many of these families find Keystone HMO CHIP a great alternative to no insurance or their group insurance options. No family earns too much to enroll their child in Keystone HMO CHIP coverage!

Not Eligible for Keystone HMO CHIP?

If your child is not eligible for Keystone HMO CHIP, you will be notified in writing as to why.

If your child appears to be eligible for Medicaid, your child’s application will be forwarded to the County Assistance Office, and you will get a letter within 30 days that tells you the application status and next steps to take.

If your child is not eligible for Medicaid, you may be eligible for financial assistance, also called subsidies, to reduce your monthly rate. Check the Tax Credit Calculator on ibx.com to see if you and your family are eligible.

You deserve the peace of mind of knowing your child has comprehensive, high-quality health insurance at a price you can afford. I encourage you to consider applying for Keystone HMO CHIP for your child.

*The premium for three or more children is three times (3x) the per-child monthly premium.
