The Department of Social Services provides free health insurance
coverage for eligible children under age 19. South Dakota's
Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP), pays for: physician services;
hospital services, vision care; dental care; prescription drugs,
medical; dental and vision screening; chiropractic; mental health; and
other medical services. |

What services are covered?
In addition to the medical payments made by South Dakota's Child Health
Insurance Program (CHIP), the program also reimburses school districts
for providing the following services: psychological services, physical
therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), speech and language services,
audiological services, and nursing services. |

What will it cost?
Special Education services are provided to the parent at no cost.
However, with your voluntary approval, the school district is allowed to
file for Medicaid reimbursement at no cost to you, and you will not lose
any medical benefits. The funds received from Medicaid will be used by
the school district to enhance Special Education services. |
