Comparing CHIP Benefits to Medicaid, Exchange Plans, and Employer-Sponsored Insurance

In a preview of a chapter in the March 2015 report to Congress, this presentation compares CHIP coverage to Medicaid, exchange, and employer-sponsored coverage, finding that most major medical services are covered by all sources of coverage, but for other benefits, coverage varies.
