Program Improvements: Medicaid and CHP+ Provide 12 Months of Continuous Coverage for Kids
March 16, 2014
Good news! Beginning March 1, 2014, children who have either Medicaid or CHP+ benefits will have continuous coverage for 12 months, even if their family’s income or household size changes. Continuous coverage for Medicaid and CHP+ children can help greatly streamline eligibility checks for providers, and eliminate eligibility and billing problems caused by changing coverage. It also improves continuity of care, and can help provide consistent access to preventive and primary care services – resulting in better health for covered children.
