Child Health Plan Plus
Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) is a low-cost health and dental insurance for Colorado children and pregnant women. The program was created to help families
who make too much money to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford private insurance.
Depending on family size (people in your household that are related) and income, you may need to pay an enrollment fee once
per year and co-pays when you receive service.Some families pay nothing; others pay up to $35.Pregnant women have no co-pays.
