About the CHDP Gateway
In July 2003, the Children's Health and Disability Program (CHDP) began the using the "CHDP" Gateway", an automated pre-enrollment process for non Medi-Cal, uninsured children. The CHDP Gateway serves as the entry point for these children to enroll in ongoing health care coverage through Medi-Cal.
