New CHIPRA Opportunity: Express Lane Eligibility
This recorded webinar includes an overview of the Express Lane Eligibility (ELE) option in the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) by a national expert. It also includes a presentation from another national expert who has studied the experiences of other public programs’ use of automated strategies and he explores how states can use automation, and the options in ELE, to identify, enroll and retain children in health coverage. Finally, the webinar also includes presentations from two states’ representatives who share their current efforts to implement ELE, including the initial steps they took prior to CHIPRA and their expectations for results using the new tools in CHIPRA.
NEW NASHP PUBLICATION
Reauthorizing SCHIP: Principles, Issues and Ideas from State Directors
With reauthorization of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) moving quickly through Congress, this State Health Policy Briefing seeks to inform the federal legislators and other policymakers about the issues of greatest concern to state SCHIP program directors related to the reauthorization. The brief was developed by NASHP through in-depth conversations with and input from a workgroup of state SCHIP directors, and reviewed by all SCHIP directors. Publication of the brief was made possible through the generous support of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation as part of broader efforts to provide assistance and report on state SCHIP programs since the program’s inception.
