Model Application Template for the State Children’s Health Insurance Program

Effective Date:

Approval Date: 5-2 Approximately $17 million was awarded to these organizations during the period April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 to support locally-tailored programs to develop and implement the necessary enrollment infrastructure. Facilitated enrollers provide families with eligibility information, assist them in completing the application, help gather documentation and submit the application to the health plan of the family’s choice for enrollment in CHPlus or the local social services district for enrollment in Medicaid. The facilitated enrollers are available during evening and weekend hours, making enrollment more convenient for working families. By removing some of the identified barriers to enrollment, the Department, through the facilitated enrollers, can ensure that each child enters the system and receives services through the “right door”, without families having to search for that door. In doing so, the Department has created a system that balances and coordinates federal and state statutes with the goal of enrolling targeted low-income children.
