Medicaid & CHIP

FirstCare STAR is a Medicaid program designed for low-income families, children, and pregnant women; including doctor visits, prescriptions and more. For those not eligible for Medicaid, but who can't afford other insurance, we offer FirstCare CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program)—providing health coverage for children in low-income families.
