CHIP programs have ambitious goals regarding enrollment. In order to capture as many candidates as possible, the program has partnered with other government and educational organizations. Federally, CHIPRA included additional outreach grants to many states in order to fund these programs. States have used partnerships to supplement coverage. For example, Utah’s Premium Partnership for Health Insurance (UPP) is designed to help families pay premiums and can be used as a substitute for CHIP or to assist with CHIP premium payments.
