CHIP is targeted to which group?

• A. A federal-state program for uninsured children and pregnant women whose income is too high for Medicaid but can't afford private insurance.
• B. TRICARE.
• C. Medigap.
• D. HIPAA.

Answer: (A)

CHIP targets uninsured children and pregnant women whose income is too high for Medicaid but who can’t afford private insurance. It’s a joint federal-state program designed to fill the gap between Medicaid and private coverage, making sure kids (often up to age 19) and pregnant women can get affordable, comprehensive care even when their income isn’t low enough for Medicaid. Eligibility and benefits vary by state, but the core idea is to provide coverage for families that fall between Medicaid and private plans. TRICARE is military health coverage, Medigap is Medicare supplemental insurance, and HIPAA relates to health information privacy and portability. Those programs serve different populations or purposes, whereas CHIP specifically serves uninsured children and pregnant women in the described income range.
