Oregon Children’s Health Coverage Programs

Medicaid and CHIP provide no-cost or low-cost health coverage for eligible children in Oregon.  Even if your children have been turned down in the past or you don’t know if they qualify, you may be able to get health coverage for them now.

Medicaid and CHIP provide health coverage for children so that they can get routine check-ups,  immunizations and dental care to keep them healthy. They can also get doctor visits, prescription medications and hospital care when they’re sick, and much more.
