The Illinois Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) is a state health benefits program created by the Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan Act. It is governed by a 17 member Board of Directors, which includes the Director of the Department of Insurance as Chairman, the Attorney General, a representative of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, ten public members appointed by the Governor, and four legislative members. CHIP is not an insurance company or entitlement program. Persons must qualify for coverage.
