Model Application Template for the State Children’s Health Insurance Program
Effective Date:
October 1, 2009 14 Approval Date: November 19, 2010 When a child is identified by an ALL Kids enrollment worker as not potentially eligible for the Medicaid or ALL Kids but potentially eligible for the Alabama Child Caring Foundation (ACCF), the family’s application is sent to ACCF which then processes it and the opposite is also true.
Because it is recognized that the eligibility and enrollment systems of these three programs are not as seamless as needed, ALL Kids employs a full time MSW staff person. This staff person has responsibility to assist families in overcoming obstacles related to eligibility, enrollment, claims, and referral for specialty services as needed. Additional responsibilities include development and maintenance of the ALL Kids policy manual.
In addition, the State coordinates with the ALL Kids PLUS authorizing agencies. See the previous section for a broader description of the collaboration.
