The Kansas Medical Assistance Program, otherwise known as Medicaid, provides long-term health care to eligible low-income individuals. This includes dependent children, parents, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and older adults. The related Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provides similar coverage at a low cost to uninsured children living in low-income households.
