Presumptive Eligibility
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 11
Book Description
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as the Affordable Care Act) envisions a simple and streamlined enrollment process for Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Basic Health, and the premium credits that will help consumers purchase coverage through the exchanges. The Affordable Care Act allows -- and in many cases requires -- that states take steps to dramatically ease the enrollment process for consumers. Automated eligibility and enrollment systems will be an important part of that process, but there are other tools states can use. One that has not received much attention in the context of health reform implementation is presumptive eligibility. Presumptive eligibility is not a new idea; states have used it to some extent in the Medicaid program since the mid-1980s and in CHIP since its enactment in the late1990s. However, the Affordable Care Act significantly expands states' ability to use presumptive eligibility to streamline the enrollment process for Medicaid and CHIP. This issue brief provides an overview of presumptive eligibility, explores the changes in the new law that pertain to presumptive eligibility, and outlines how presumptive eligibility fits into the new enrollment paradigm.

Smarter Way to Care
Author: Daniel W. Hancock
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437916430
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
The leaders of the State of Calif. have opened an important debate on health care, looking to solve the problem of its citizens who lack health care insurance. As California¿s single largest purchaser of health care, the Medi-Cal program is too big to be an afterthought in the debate on how to untie the knot of rising health costs, the lack of affordability, and the growing burden of cost-shifting on business. The sheer size of the Medi-Cal budget -- $37.7 billion and growing fast -- demands a smarter approach. Better by far for the state to focus on what the state is buying for its billions -- better for accountability to taxpayers and better for delivering promised health benefits to Calif.¿s poor and disabled, 6.6 million of whom are enrolled in Medi-Cal. Tables and graphs.

Benefits and Challenges of the California's Children's Health Insurance Eligibility Process

Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
As one of the nations with the most efficient and reliable healthcare systems, the United States has mainly focused on the acquisition of healthcare insurance plans by citizens during the current century. However, evidence shows that some children are not eligible for health insurance. Some parents get their insurance through an employer which doesn't cover children or parents or guardians with Medicare and can't have dependent coverage. Today, there are three main healthcare insurance plans that children in California can apply for: Children Health Insurance Program (CHIP), the County Children's Health Initiative Program (CCHIP), and Medi-Cal. However, each health insurance program is significantly different. Undertaking a policy analysis with social justice lens, this study proposes to examine all three California children's insurance options--barriers and the eligibility criteria and will try to describe the significant number of benefits of high-quality patient care and the distribution for children in California. This graduate project proposes to use the social justice policy framework adapted by Jillian Jimenez (2015) to examine the state's three healthcare insurance programs. The results will offer clarity and suggestions to both government policy and healthcare practitioners.
