Don’t Qualify for Medicaid? Your Kids Still Might be Able to Get CHP+

Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) offered by Colorado Access is a low-cost health insurance plan for children through age 18 and pregnant women. If you make too much to qualify for Medicaid, your family might qualify. If you have any problems or questions about your CHP+ eligibility or enrollment, please call Health First Colorado Enrollment at 888-367-6557.
