The Illinois Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) is a state health benefits program. CHIP is funded partly by premiums paid by its participants and, to the extent that premiums do not meet anticipated expenses, CHIP may receive an appropriation from the State's General Revenue Fund. Premiums charged may currently be set by law at from 125-150 percent of the average rates charged individuals for comparable major medical coverage by five or more of the largest insurance companies in the individual health insurance market in Illinois.
