CHIP provides health coverage to uninsured students

Woodland Hills families who would like to ensure their children have health insurance can sign up for Pennsylvania's Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

The program is available to children and teenagers who are not eligible or enrolled in Medicaid and who do not currently have health insurance. No matter the reason that your child may not have health insurance, CHIP may be able to help.

CHIP covers routine check-ups, prescriptions, hospitalizations, dental, eye care, eyeglasses, behavioral care, specialty care, and more. Most kids receive CHIP for free, while others can get the same benefits at a low, affordable cost. There is no limit on income. If your child is below CHIP guidelines, you may be eligible for medical assistance.
