Connecting Kids to Coverage Challenge
Help insure the five million eligible uninsured children by joining the Connecting Kids to Coverage challenge. This challenge is a space to share and highlight effective and innovative ideas on how to enroll eligible children in Medicaid and CHIP.
Leaders from all levels of government and the private sector are helping to connect kids to coverage by stepping up to the challenge and sharing their ideas on Challenge.gov. You can, too.
5 Ways to Step Up to the Challenge
- Cut red tape. Work to simplify enrollment and renewal and reduce paperwork that creates unnecessary barriers to coverage for eligible children.
- Capitalize on technology. Enable families to apply and check their eligibility online. Explore ways to use the telephone, text-messaging and other technology in outreach and enrollment.
- Create opportunities to sign up. Reach out and help families enroll their children where they live, learn, play, work, worship, and go for health care or for help with other family needs. Strive to make enrollment assistance an ongoing and routine activity.
- Focus on retention. Take steps to help families renew their child’s coverage so that children stay covered for as long as they qualify and have consistent access to health care.
- Forge partnerships. Engage public and private partners to magnify enrollment efforts.
