Like Medicaid, SCHIP eligibility and covered services vary from State to State. In some States, Medicaid and SCHIP are combined. In other States, they operate as separate programs. Although health benefits covered by SCHIP vary, all States must provide coverage for well-baby and well-child care, immunizations, and emergency services.
