Colorado Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+)

Program Description
Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) is a low-cost health insurance program for uninsured Colorado children ages 18 and under whose families earn or own too much to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford private insurance. CHP+ encourages preventive and early primary care by removing the financial barriers to health care. CHP+ works to improve the health status of Colorado children by improving access to appropriate medical care and to reduce overall health care costs. Health care involves more than dealing with emergencies. Regular check-ups can prevent many illnesses and catch others before they become dangerous. Dental care is very important, especially for children. But most quality health and dental care is expensive. But CHP+ lets you take control of your family's health and dental care needs. Your children go to the doctor, dentist or get medication when they need it, not only when you can afford it. Health Services include: check-ups and shots; well child care and immunizations; medical office visits; prescriptions; hospital services including outpatient services, inpatient care, and inpatient doctors' care; glasses and hearing aids; mental health care, such as counseling, hospitalization, and outpatient substance abuse treatments. Dental Services include: exams; cleanings; x-rays; fillings; routine extractions; limited root canal therapy, and other diagnostic and preventive services.
