 The Consequences of
States' Policies for SCHIP Disenrollment
The Consequences of States'
Policies for SCHIP Disenrollment, finds that the Florida
policy, which doesn't require parents to take steps to prove that
their children are still eligible for the State Children's Health
Insurance Program, resulted in only 5% of children in Florida
SCHIP to fall off the rolls at re-enrollment, as compared to
one-third to one-half of children in Kansas, Oregon, and New York.
The authors concluded that passive re-enrollment contributed to
the lower disenrollment rate observed in Florida as compared to
the states with active re-enrollment policies. Nearly all other
states have active re-enrollment policies, and only a few states
have passive re-enrollment policies in place, the study
says.
