What are the Differences between Public and Private Pediatric Health Insurance?
Public insurance programs like Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) typically offer comprehensive coverage at low or no cost to eligible families. These programs are income-based and aim to ensure that all children have access to essential healthcare services.
Private insurance plans, on the other hand, are purchased through employers or the individual market. They may offer broader networks and more flexibility but come with higher costs in terms of premiums and out-of-pocket expenses.
