Highmark Blue Shield to help ensure that all Pennsylvania children and adults have access to affordable quality health care coverage. More than 310,600 children and 54,000 adults have received health care coverage through CHIP and adultBasic over the past 20 years.
Updated brochures and applications are now available for the CHIP and adultBasic programs. These programs reach families who are without health insurance because their income is too high for Medical Assistance or who do not have private insurance. Many families are not aware of their potential eligibility for enrollment in CHIP or adultBasic. In addition to these two state programs, Highmark Blue Shield also offers SpecialCare, an income-based program for adults and children.
People who do not qualify for income-based programs may benefit from an individual plan from Highmark Blue Shield. Information about Highmark individual health insurance programs is available at http://www.highmarkblueshield.com/.
The order form offers brochures about CHIP, adultBasic and SpecialCare as well as CHIP posters for your libraries. To get a copy of the Materials Request Form to order additional materials email Lisa at lisa.bellito@highmark.com or visit the website for more information about income-based programs. If you wish to order any of these materials for your patrons, please fill out the form and fax it to Lisa Bellito, Fax # - 610-573-5424. If your library is in a part of the state that does not have Highmark Blue Shield coverage, Lisa will see that your request is forwarded to the appropriate contact for your area.
Thank you to Lisa L. Bellito of Highmark and Claudia Koenig of the Office of Commonwealth Libraries for sharing this information.
