Medical Child Support Cross-Program Coordination Descriptive Study (Project)
|
Organization(s): Urban Institute |
In the area of medical child support, states have identified coordination with State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) agencies and private insurers as the number one issue for which they need federal assistance. Also, the HHS/DoL Medical Child Support Working Group recommended that further research be conducted on states' efforts to coordinate health care coverage availability between child support, Medicaid, and SCHIP. This project, conducted by The Urban Institute, will describe and analyze state efforts to coordinate between these three programs to secure appropriate health care coverage for child support-eligible children; the effects of federal policy on this cross-program coordination; and barriers to these efforts. The project has two components. The first involves convening a panel of experts to discuss why state agencies collaborate, what the barriers to collaboration are perceived to be, and the effects of federal policy on the decision to coordinate. Second, a series of case studies of several sites where coordination between child support, Medicaid, and SCHIP is underway will document the nature of the coordination, identify innovative practices and barriers, and describe the effects of federal policies. The project is being jointly monitored with the Office of Health Policy (HP) in ASPE. |

Congressionally Mandated Evaluation of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) (Project)
|
Organization(s): Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. |
The evaluation will assess how effective SCHIP has been in reducing the number of uninsured and also help Congress, DHHS, and the states to take stock of the program's first few years and provide information to guide future policies for children's health insurance. Key topics to be examined through this evaluation include SCHIP's impact on uninsurance rates; reasons why states designed their SCHIP programs as they did; enrollment and disenrollment trends; reasons for disenrollment and non-participation; barriers to enrollment; the impact of cost-sharing on enrollment, retention, and utilization of services; effectiveness of outreach approaches; SCHIP's impact on access to care and enrollee satisfaction; and the relationships between SCHIP, Medicaid, and private coverage. The overall evaluation design includes both quantitative and qualitative research components, focusing on the experience of 10 states that represent a wide range of program designs and geographic regions. The quantitative components of the evaluation consist of a cross-sectional survey of SCHIP and Medicaid enrollees and disenrollees in 10 states, and a survey of the eligible but unenrolled population in 50 states. The qualitative analytic components of the evaluation comprise in-depth case studies in the 10 study states, an analysis of states' program data, a national survey of SCHIP program administrators, and a focus group study in nine states. |

Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (FMAP) (Project)
|
The Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (FMAPs) are used in determining the amount of Federal matching funds for State expenditures for assistance payments for certain social services, and State medical and medical insurance expenditures. The Social Security Act requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to calculate and publish the FMAPs each year. |
