Families who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid may be able to qualify for SCHIP.

Families that do not currently have health insurance are likely to be eligible, even if you are working. The states have different eligibility rules, but in most states, uninsured children under the age of 19, whose families earn up to $36,200 a year (for a family of four) are eligible. For little or no cost, this insurance pays for: 

1. doctor visits
2. immunizations
3. hospitalizations
4. emergency room visits
