Community Healthcare Access Program (CHAP) assists uninsured Delaware residents who meet specific financial requirements to obtain preventive healthcare, as well as medical services at an affordable cost. The discounts are based on a resident's income and ability to pay. The Delaware Health Care Commission administers the program with funding support from the Delaware Tobacco Settlement Funds.
CHAP bilingual coordinators determine a patient's eligibility and then enroll the patient in any one of a number of medical assistance programs, including discounted services offered by Beebe Medical Center. CHAP's normal process is to screen everyone for Medicaid and other state and private programs. Beebe CHAP coordinators have numerous resources for eligible patients, including such programs as the state's Cancer Treatment Program, Prenatal Care and Smart Start High Risk Pregnancy, Diabetes Emergency Fund, Epilepsy Foundation, Arthritis Foundation, and National Center for Farm Worker Health. Affordable physician services are available through the Voluntary Initiative Program (VIP) that can be accessed through CHAP. This program, made up of a network of private physicians, was created by the Medical Society of Delaware and is administered by the Delaware Foundation for Medical Services.
