1. Administration for Children and Families

2. Health Resources and Services Administration

3. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

4. Individual Practice Association

The correct answer is: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

The organization responsible for Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP is the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS is a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that administers these important healthcare programs. Medicare is a federal health insurance program for individuals aged 65 and older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with end-stage renal disease. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with healthcare costs for low-income individuals. CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) provides health coverage to children in families with incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid, but who can't afford private coverage. These programs are all overseen by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to ensure the provision of healthcare services to eligible individuals.
