Types of CHIP coverage
The coverage type that you’re eligible for will depend on your family’s size and income.
You will not have to pay a monthly premium or copays if you’re eligible for free CHIP.
Is your household income above the free CHIP limits? If so, and you’re eligible for low-cost or full-cost CHIP, you’ll need to pay a monthly premium and copays.
You’ll be required to pay the first month's premium to enroll in low-cost or full-cost CHIP. Thereafter, you’ll receive a monthly billing statement from Aetna Better Health® Kids.
Premiums are the monthly payments that you pay to Aetna Better Health Kids for CHIP coverage.
Those enrolled in low-cost or full-cost CHIP will receive a monthly bill for the upcoming month’s coverage (for example: you’d receive a bill in April for coverage in May). Members with free CHIP coverage don’t need to pay a premium.
Need to pay a premium for your coverage? If so, you’ll want to do it on time.
What happens when you don’t pay on time?
If you can't pay your premium on time, call us at 1-800-822-2447 (TTY: 711). We’ll talk with you about payment options and the future status of your child’s enrollment.
Keep your contact info up to date
Make sure that any info we have from you, such as your address and phone number, stays current. If needed, you’ll receive monthly invoices and premium change notices from us at your address on file.
