Kentucky Children’s Health Insurance Program
The Kentucky Children’s Health Insurance Program (KCHIP) is a program that provides health care coverage and other coordinated health care services to children of the commonwealth who are uninsured and otherwise not eligible for health insurance coverage [1.2][1.3]. If you are collecting social security numbers from participants in KCHIP, you may need to follow the eligibility criteria, covered services, application requirements, grievance and appeal rights for recipients, and the requirements for providers who wish to participate with the commonwealth to provide health care coverage to KCHIP members through an expansion of the Title XIX Medicaid Program [1.2][1.3].
