Medicaid, CHIP, and PACE are government-supported programs designed to provide comprehensive health coverage to vulnerable populations. Medicaid serves low-income individuals and families, CHIP covers children in families with incomes too high for Medicaid but too low for private insurance, and PACE delivers coordinated care to older adults eligible for nursing home-level services who prefer to remain in the community. While each program operates with distinct eligibility rules and benefits, they all emphasize access to quality care, patient rights, and managed care delivery models to improve outcomes and control costs. Understanding these programs equips agents to guide clients toward appropriate, cost-effective coverage options.
