The Basic Health Program (BHP) is an optional health benefits coverage program for low-income individuals (defined as individuals with incomes between 133 and 200 percent of the Federal poverty level) who would otherwise be eligible to purchase coverage through the state’s Health Insurance Marketplace (Marketplace). In states that establish a BHP, eligible individuals would instead have the opportunity to enroll in a standard health plan through the BHP. Coverage through a BHP standard health plan would complement and coordinate with enrollment in a qualified health plan (QHP) through the Marketplace, as well as with enrollment in Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
