Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)/Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa (Hawki) CHIP covers children under the age of 19 in working families who have too much income to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford private health insurance, and are not enrolled in other health insurance.

In Iowa, CHIP is offered through Hawki. Some households may be required to pay a monthly premium based on family income. No family pays more than $40 a month. Some families pay nothing at all. Eligibility ends on the first day of the month following the month of the youth's 19th birthday.
