About MCHP Premium

Enrollment is open
again for this program! On July 1, 2001, Maryland implemented an expansion to the Maryland
Children’s Health Program (MCHP). The
expansion, called MCHP Premium, offered health
coverage to children in families who have higher incomes than those
eligible for MCHP. This program was closed last fiscal year
and reopened due to legislative changes.

Enrollment for
children in MCHP Premium whose families have higher income levels
was reopened as of July 1, 2004. Check the income limits below
to see if your child will qualify. The child must also be
uninsured.
This program uses the same application
as MCHP. Families who enroll their children in
MCHP Premium pay a monthly premium that
includes all enrolled children. The premium varies by your
family's income.
