Connecting Kids to Coverage

The Greater Flint Health Coalition launched the Connecting Kids to Coverage Outreach and Enrollment Program in 2016, which supports and coordinates Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) outreach and enrollment, as a result of an award from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. With the help and support of partner organizations, the Greater Flint Health Coalition leads strategies to improve and promote utilization and retention of expanded Medicaid benefits. Strategies include the engagement of disconnected youth, families with incomes between the 200-400% federal poverty level, school-age children, and families for whom English is a second language. To further engage the community, a coordinated service referral and delivery plan are also utilized.

This award is authorized by bipartisan Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act legislation. Such funding supports national activities aimed at identifying children, adults, and pregnant women who are eligible for Medicaid and CHIP and helping their families enroll and renew their coverage. These efforts have helped boost enrollment and have engaged a range of partners to take steps to make outreach and enrollment a routine.
