Medi-Cal and CHIP

Medi-Cal is a program that provides health insurance to Californians with low incomes, for free or for a low cost. The plans are from name-brand insurance companies. 

CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) provides health insurance for free or for a low cost to children whose families fall in certain income brackets. Many families are considered mixed, which means that the children qualify for Medi-Cal or CHIP and adults are insured through Covered California.
