Chronically Ill & Disabled Children's Services Program's Insurance Premium Payment Assistance (IPPA)
by: Texas Department of Health

The Insurance Premium Payment Assistance (IPPA) Program
IPPA is a program that allows the Children with Special Health Care Needs program (CSHCN) to reimburse families for the insurance premiums they pay to provide health insurance for a CSHCN client. To be eligible for IPPA, a client must have CSHCN eligibility and any type of third party resource program.

The IPPA application is different from the CSHCN application. To apply for IPPA consideration, families must submit a two (2) part application. The family fills out the first part of the application and the client's doctor fills out the second part.

If it will cost CSHCN less to reimburse the insurance premiums than to pay for the treatment of the client's condition, CSHCN will approve the application and arrange a reimbursement process.
