How CHIP Can Help Meet Child Specific Requirements and Needs in the Exchange: Considerations for Policymakers

There are compelling reasons to consider how the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) can be used as a resource to meet the child-specific exchange requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). With support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, NASHP analyzed federal statutes, regulations, and guidance for CHIP and the exchange, and interviewed state and national experts to inform this work. The resulting brief offers options for using CHIP as a tool to inform exchange design and the companion piece compares selected CHIP and exchange requirements to highlight their alignment.

The medical home has been a key mechanism in their improvement efforts. This brief draws from these states’ experiences to outline opportunities and lessons for state policy makers to consider in order to strengthen medical home initiatives by explicitly addressing the needs of children.

New Denial and Disenrollment Coding Strategies to Drive State Enrollment Performance

Tracking why individuals lose coverage can be a powerful tool for states to understand public coverage programs. This brief makes recommendations to improve the coding of denials and disenrollments suggesting fourteen codes to replace current complex codesets, which in some states number over 100 codes. Streamlining can help states to get a better handle on churn and track the effects of eligibility policy changes. This brief was written by NASHP staff in collaboration with Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., evaluators for the Maximizing Enrollment program. A related report describes a broader set of enrollment and retention performance measures.
