TRIM3 Simulations of Full-Year Uninsured Children and their Eligibility of Medicaid and SCHIP
(Report)
|
Author(s): Kenneth Finegold and Linda Giannarelli |
This paper estimates the number of full-year uninsured children and the share of them eligible for Medicaid or SCHIP using the TRIM3 microsimulation model. This model applies detailed state-specific rules to determine which individuals represented in the Current Population Survey (CPS) are eligible for Medicaid and/or SCHIP. Other key aspects of the model are the correction for underreporting of Medicaid, SCHIP, and other public benefits in the CPS and the imputation of immigrant legal status. Corrections for underreporting involve simulating additional enrollees so that reported coverage on the CPS matches totals given in the program administrative data. Imputation for immigrant legal status is required because this information is not provided in the CPS but is required to estimate eligibility. |

Lisa Dubay, Ian Hill, Myoung Kim, Lorenzo Moreno,
Anna Sommers, and Stephen Zuckerman |
Organization(s): Mathematica Policy Research and The Urban Institute |
The final report of the SCHIP Evaluation focuses primarily on case studies and surveys of SCHIP enrollees and recent disenrollees in 10 study states, and on analyses of two national surveys that provide nationwide perspectives on SCHIP implementation and uninsured children's access to care. The report presents findings from an extensive analysis of the mandated surveys of SCHIP enrollees and disenrollees in 10 states, and of Medicaid enrollees and disenrollees in 2 states. The Evaluation addresses questions about SCHIP program design, implementation and evolution, SCHIP coordination with Medicaid, characteristics of enrollees, substitution of public coverage for private health insurance, SCHIP's effect on access to care, and family experiences with application and enrollment. |
