Similar to Medicaid, CHIP is financed jointly by the federal and state governments. To support states to expand coverage for children, the federal government harmonizes state spending on CHIP at a rate 15 percentage points higher than the Medicaid matching pace.

Since the program was instituted 20 years ago, the portion of uninsured children has descended from 14 percent to 5 percent. To know more visit – PowerPoint PPT presentation
