If you have uninsured children age 0-18 or are pregnant and uninsured, you or your children might be eligible for Medicaid or Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+).
CHP+ is Colorado’s program for children whose parents make too much to qualify for Medicaid but can’t afford private insurance.
Establishing Eligibility
If your income falls within published Federal Income Guidelines, you may qualify for Medicaid or CHP+. To find out if you and/or your children qualify, contact Pueblo StepUp at (719) 557-5886.
