What Role Does Insurance Coverage Play?

Insurance coverage is a critical factor in accessing pediatric healthcare. Children without insurance are less likely to receive regular check-ups, vaccinations, and timely treatment for illnesses. Even with insurance, high out-of-pocket costs can deter families from seeking necessary care. Public insurance programs like Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) are vital for providing coverage to low-income families, but enrollment and coverage limitations can still pose challenges.
