In 1997, Congress passed legislation creating the State Childrens Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), the first major federally funded health program to be established since Medicare and Medicaid were enacted in 1965.
Office of Health Policy (HP)
The Office of Health Policy (HP) provides a cross-cutting perspective that bridges Departmental programs, state, local, and private sector activities, and the research community, in order to develop, analyze, coordinate and inform leadership on health policy issues for the Secretary. HP carries out this mission by conducting policy and economic and budget analyses, assisting in the development and review of regulations, budgets, legislation, and survey design efforts, as well as conducting and coordinating research, evaluation, and information dissemination on issues relating to health policy.
HP is organized in four divisions that align with major Department programs:
Division of Health Care Financing Policy (HFP)
Division of Public Health Services (PHS)
Division of Health Care Quality and Outcomes (HQO)
Division of Health Care Access and Coverage (HAC)
