Healthcare Coverage for your Baby

If your child is lives in a family with an income at or below the Medicaid eligibility level, your newborn will be enrolled in Medicaid for 12 months of continuous Medicaid coverage beginning on his or her date of birth. After the twelve months of coverage ends, you can apply through the state CHIP office to have your baby covered under the CHIP program. Learn how to apply for Medicaid services.
