Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

This document explains various considerations for states deciding between SIPP and state administrative data, how to use the eligibility templates provided by CMS for the MAGI-based eligibility conversion process, and the steps that states wishing to perform the conversions using state Medicaid and CHIP data will need to follow.

This evaluation describes existing state Express Lane Eligibility (ELE) programs including the administrative costs and ELE enrollment trends, estimates the impact of ELE adoption on total enrollment, and previews the issues that will be examined through future evaluation activities.

This review of Medicaid and CHIP risk-based managed care over 2001-2010 shows that well-established programs exist in 19 of the 20 study states. While there is substantial variation across states, all the study states have developed ways to regularly select plans, define network requirements, and monitor access and quality. There is substantial stability in the number and types of plans.
