4.4 CHIP Perinatal Program
The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Perinatal Program, a program extending CHIP perinatal benefits for 12 months to the unborn children of non-Medicaid eligible women began on January 1, 2007. This program allows pregnant women who are ineligible for Medicaid due to income (186 to 200 percent of the FPL) or immigration status (with an income at or below 200 percent of FPL) to receive prenatal care, and provides CHIP benefits to the child upon delivery for the duration of the coverage period.
