West Virginia Children’s Health Insurance Program (WVCHIP)
West Virginia CHIP (WVCHIP) provides health coverage to uninsured children whose families earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to afford private coverage.
The program is divided into different “plans” based on income levels, with higher-income households paying a monthly premium and co-pays for some services.
For example, families with income between 216% and 305% of the FPL may pay a monthly premium of $35 for one child or $71 for two or more children. Children who are members of federally recognized American Indian or Native Alaskan tribes are not required to pay co-payments.
