Automated Renewal: Strategies to Maintain Coverage of Eligible Children in Medicaid and Child Health Plus

Published: 2009

This report analyzes the potential to enact continuous Medicaid coverage for children in New York State, where two million children are covered by public health insurance programs and 90 percent of the uninsured children are eligible. Written for the Fund by consultants at Manatt Health Solutions, the report reviews the necessary legal authority, recommended design, and potential barriers to implementation that such a plan would entail. This initiative would represent a transformative approach to reducing disruptions in care for children with public coverage.
