Medicaid Re-Enrollment
Update Your Medicaid or CHIP Information
If you or your child have health coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), your state will be deciding over the next 12 months whether your family still qualifies for this coverage. Your care team at Nemours Children’s Health wants to make sure you have the information needed to make informed decisions.
