Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

The CHIP program, under the auspices of the WV Healthy Kids Coalition, is to ensure that no child, from birth to 18, be without insurance. Children may be eligible to be covered for medical services, surgery, durable medical equipment and supplies, prescription drugs, and vision and dental service. Even though income guidelines may not be met, families may still be eligible for the coverage by paying a reduced premium. The only way to be sure if a child is eligible is to apply. CHIP is not a welfare program even though it is administered by the Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR). Contact 877-WVA-CHIP or (304) 358-2355 for the local CHIP Outreach Coordinator, Ms. Chris Mallow, at PCC.

Contact: DHHR Office in Franklin at (304) 358-2305. Monica Flippin, supervisor of the local DHHR offices in Pendleton, Grant & Hardy, can be reached at (304) 538-2391.
