State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)
Author: Mary T. EwingPublisher: Nova Publishers
ISBN: 9781604563337
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) offers federal matching funds for states and territories to provide health insurance to uninsured, low-income children in families whose annual incomes are too high to qualify for Medicaid. Unlike Medicaid, which operates as an individual entitlement, SCHIP operates as a capped grant program. Allotment of funds among states is determined by a formula set in law. Once a state depletes a given year's original allotment, other than funds from prior years made available through redistribution, no additional federal funds will be made available to that state for that year. States have the flexibility to design their programs to operate within these funding constraints. The allotment and redistribution methods under current law have been incompatible with state spending patterns to date.

Health Insurance is a Family Matter
Author: Institute of MedicinePublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309169054

Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Health Insurance is a Family Matter is the third of a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United Sates and addresses the impact on the family of not having health insurance. The book demonstrates that having one or more uninsured members in a family can have adverse consequences for everyone in the household and that the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of all members of a family may be adversely affected if any family member lacks coverage. It concludes with the finding that uninsured children have worse access to and use fewer health care services than children with insurance, including important preventive services that can have beneficial long-term effects.
America's Children
Author: Institute of Medicine and National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309173930
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
America's Children is a comprehensive, easy-to-read analysis of the relationship between health insurance and access to care. The book addresses three broad questions: How is children's health care currently financed? Does insurance equal access to care? How should the nation address the health needs of this vulnerable population? America's Children explores the changing role of Medicaid under managed care; state-initiated and private sector children's insurance programs; specific effects of insurance status on the care children receive; and the impact of chronic medical conditions and special health care needs. It also examines the status of "safety net" health providers, including community health centers, children's hospitals, school-based health centers, and others and reviews the changing patterns of coverage and tax policy options to increase coverage of private-sector, employer-based health insurance. In response to growing public concerns about uninsured children, last year Congress voted to provide $24 billion over five years for new state insurance initiatives. This volume will serve as a primer for concerned federal policymakers and regulators, state agency officials, health plan decisionmakers, health care providers, children's health advocates, and researchers.

Book Description
In response to the most recent U.S. recession, Congress passed the Recovery Act (RA). To help states maintain their Medicaid programs and provide states with fiscal relief, the RA temporarily increased the fed. share of Medicaid funding for states. The fed. funding states receive for Medicaid is determined by a statutory formula (FMAP). The RA also required a study of options for providing a temporary increased FMAP in response to future recessions. This report reviewed how past recessions affected states¿ ability to fund Medicaid, examined the responsiveness of past increased FMAP assistance to state needs, and identified options for adjusting the increased FMAP formula for use during future recessions. Charts and tables. A print on demand report.
