23 Miss. Code. R. 102-6.33 - CHIP and Other Insurance Coverage - FCC Programs

A. There is no requirement for assignment of third party rights in the Children's Health Insurance Program because the program is for uninsured children only.

B. Children who are covered by creditable third party insurance at application are not eligible for CHIP. This is true regardless of who pay the health insurance premiums.

C. Creditable insurance coverage is full health insurance. Children covered only by the following types of insurance may qualify for CHIP: accident insurance, disability income insurance, liability insurance, supplemental policies for liability insurance, worker's compensation, automobile medical payment insurance, credit-only insurance, coverage for onsite medical clinics or limited-scope dental or vision or long term care insurance.

D. Termination of creditable coverage must be verified when the application indicates insurance coverage will terminate within the thirty (30) day application processing period or terminated within the six months prior to the application.

E. As indicated above, a child covered by insurance at the time of application is not eligible; however, when insurance coverage will terminate within the thirty (30) day application processing period, an otherwise CHIP-eligible child is not denied.

F. If all other factors of eligibility will be met, the the application will be held and action taken to approve the child after the insurance coverage has ended.
