What medical application is used for SCHIP? Is it the same as Medicaid?
Yes, it is the same as Medicaid. Clients can use the short Children’s Medical application form (DSHS form 14-380) or the Healthy Kids Now form (DSHS form 23-394(x), used by families applying for medical benefits for their children. The client can mail the form to their local Community Service Office (CSO). But, families do not need to visit a CSO to get their children on SCHIP. No in-person interview is necessary.
