Definition
This indicator represents the number of children under the age of 19 who are enrolled in the Healthy Steps program in North Dakota, also know as the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or the Optional Children's Group. This program is intended to help meet the health care needs of children from families who have too much income to qualify for full Medicaid coverage, but not enough to afford private insurance.
The denominator for the percentage is the total child population age birth through 18 in respective geographic areas.
